Sine

The sin trigonometric function to calculate the sin of an angle in radians, degrees or gradians.


Sine function

The calculator allows to use most of the trigonometric functions, it is possible to calculate the sine, the cosine and the tangent of an angle through the functions of the same name..

The trigonometric function sine noted sin, allows to calculate the sine of an angle online , it is possible to use different angular units : degree, grade and radians wich is the angular unit by default.

  1. Calculation of the sine
  2. Sine calculating an angle in radians

    The sine calculator allows through the sin function to calculate online the sine sine of an angle in radians, you must first select the desired unit by clicking on the options button calculation module. After that, you can start your calculations.

    To calculate sine online of `pi/6`, enter sin(`pi/6`), after calculation, the result `1/2` is returned.

    Note that the sine function is able to recognize some special angles and make the calculations with special associated values in exact form.

    Calculate the sine of an angle in degrees

    To calculate the sine of an angle in degrees, you must first select the desired unit by clicking on the options button calculation module. After that, you can start your calculus.

    To calculate sine of 90, enter sin(90), after calculation, the restults 1 is returned.

    Calculate the sine of an angle in gradians

    To calculate the sine of an angle in gradians, you must first select the desired unit by clicking on the options button calculation module. After that, you can start your calculus.

    To calculate sine of 50, enter sin(50), after computation, the result `sqrt(2)/2` is returned.

    Note that the sine function is able to recognize some special angles and do the calculus with special associated exact values.

  3. Special sine values table
  4. The sine admits some special values which the calculator is able to determine in exact forms. Here is a table of the commonsine values:

    sin(`2*pi`)`0`
    sin(`pi`)`0`
    sin(`pi/2`)`1`
    sin(`pi/4`)`sqrt(2)/2`
    sin(`pi/3`)`sqrt(3)/2`
    sin(`pi/6`)`1/2`
    sin(`2*pi/3`)`sqrt(3)/2`
    sin(`3*pi/4`)`sqrt(2)/2`
    sin(`5*pi/6`)`1/2`
    sin(`0`)`0`
    sin(`-2*pi`)`0`
    sin(`-pi`)`0`
    sin(`pi/2`)`-1`
    sin(`-pi/4`)`-sqrt(2)/2`
    sin(`-pi/3`)`-sqrt(3)/2`
    sin(`-pi/6`)`-1/2`
    sin(`-2*pi/3`)`-sqrt(3)/2`
    sin(`-3*pi/4`)`-sqrt(2)/2`
    sin(`-5*pi/6`)`-1/2`

  5. Main properties
  6. `AA x in RR, k in ZZ`,

    • `sin(-x)= -sin(x)`
    • `sin(x+2*k*pi)=sin(x)`
    • `sin(pi-x)=sin(x)`
    • `sin(pi+x)=-sin(x)`
    • `sin(pi/2-x)=cos(x)`
    • `sin(pi/2+x)=cos(x)`

  7. Derivative of sine
  8. The derivative of the sine is equal to cos(x).

  9. Antiderivative of sine
  10. The antiderivative of the sine is equal to -cos(x).

  11. Properties of the sine function
  12. The sine function is an odd function, for every real x, `sin(-x)=-sin(x)`. The consequence for the curve representative of the sine function is that it admits the origin of the reference point as point of symmetry.

  13. Equation with sine
  14. The calculator has a solver which allows it to solve equation with sine of the form cos(x)=a. The calculations to obtain the result are detailed, so it will be possible to solve equations like `sin(x)=1/2` or `2*sin(x)=sqrt(2)` with the calculation steps.
