Q. Express as a function of a DIFFERENT angle, 0∘≤θ<360∘.sin(71∘)sin(□∘)
Identify angle: Identify the related angle to 71° that can be used to express sin(71°) as a function of a different angle.Since the sine function is periodic with a period of 360°, we can find a related angle by subtracting 71° from 360°.Calculation: 360°−71°=289°
Calculate related angle: Express sin(71∘) in terms of sin(289∘). Since sin(θ)=sin(180∘−θ) for angles in the first and second quadrants, and sin(θ)=sin(360∘−θ) for angles in the first and fourth quadrants, we can use the latter identity because 289∘ is in the fourth quadrant. Therefore, sin(71∘)=sin(360∘−289∘). Calculation: 360∘−289∘=71∘, which confirms that sin(71∘)=sin(289∘).
