sin(pi/6+pi/3)

sin (\frac{π}{6} + \frac{π}{3})

1

Solution steps

sin (\frac{π}{6} + \frac{π}{3})

Simplify:

\frac{π}{6} + \frac{π}{3} = \frac{π}{2}

\frac{π}{6} + \frac{π}{3}

Least Common Multiplier of

6, 3 : 6

6, 3

Least Common Multiplier (LCM)

Prime factorization of

6 : 2 \cdot 3

6

6

divides by

26 = 3 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 3

2, 3

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 3

Prime factorization of

3 : 3

3

3

is a prime number, therefore no factorization is possible

= 3

Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either

6

3

= 2 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= 6

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

For

\frac{π}{3} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{π}{3} = \frac{π 2}{3 \cdot 2} = \frac{π 2}{6}

= \frac{π}{6} + \frac{π 2}{6}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{π + π 2}{6}

Add similar elements:

π + 2 π = 3 π

= \frac{3 π}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

3

= \frac{π}{2}

= sin (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{2}) = 1
