Find the exact value of $ sin(frac{pi}{4}) $ on the unit circle.

Answer 1

Abigail Nelson

Alex Thompson

To find the exact value of $ \sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) $ on the unit circle, we recognize that $ \frac{\pi}{4} $ is equivalent to $ 45^{\circ} $.

On the unit circle, the coordinates for $ \frac{\pi}{4} $ are $ \left( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \right) $.

The sine value is the y-coordinate, so:

$ \sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $

Answer 2

Benjamin Clark

To find the value of $ sin(frac{pi}{4}) $ on the unit circle, note that $ frac{pi}{4} $ corresponds to $ 45^{circ} $.

The coordinates at this angle are $ left( frac{sqrt{2}}{2}, frac{sqrt{2}}{2}
ight) $
.

Thus, the sine value is:

$ sin(frac{pi}{4}) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $

Answer 3

Emma Johnson

For $ sin(frac{pi}{4}) $, we see that it is $ 45^{circ} $ or $ frac{pi}{4} $ on the unit circle.

The y-coordinate value:

$ sin(frac{pi}{4}) = frac{sqrt{2}}{2} $
