Find the value of $sin( heta)$ for $ heta = frac{7pi}{6}$ using the unit circle.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Joseph Robinson

To find $\sin(\theta)$ for $\theta = \frac{7\pi}{6}$, we need to locate the angle on the unit circle.

First, note that $\frac{7\pi}{6}$ is in the third quadrant where sine is negative.

$\frac{7\pi}{6}$ is $30^\circ$ past $\pi$ (180 degrees).

The reference angle is $30^\circ$ or $\frac{\pi}{6}$.

In the third quadrant, the sine of $\frac{\pi}{6}$ is $-\frac{1}{2}$.

Thus, $\sin(\frac{7\pi}{6}) = -\frac{1}{2}$.

To determine $sin( heta)$ for $ heta = frac{7pi}{6}$ using the unit circle, follow these steps:

1. Locate the angle $frac{7pi}{6}$ on the unit circle. This angle is in the third quadrant.

2. Since $frac{7pi}{6}$ is $pi + frac{pi}{6}$, we find the reference angle to be $frac{pi}{6}$.

3. In the third quadrant, sine values are negative.

4. The sine of the reference angle $frac{pi}{6}$ is $frac{1}{2}$.

5. Therefore, $sin(frac{7pi}{6}) = -frac{1}{2}$.

To find $sin( heta)$ for $ heta = frac{7pi}{6}$:

1. $ heta = frac{7pi}{6}$ is in the third quadrant.

2. Reference angle: $frac{pi}{6}$.

3. Sine in the third quadrant is negative.

4. Hence, $sin(frac{7pi}{6}) = -frac{1}{2}$.
