What is sin(π6)\sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)?

On the unit circle, sin(π6)=12\sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right) = \dfrac{1}{2}.

What is tan(π3)\tan\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)?

On the unit circle, tan(π3)=sin(π3)cos(π3)=3/21/2=3\tan\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right) = \dfrac{\sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)}{\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)} = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}/2}{1/2} = \sqrt{3}.

What is cos(5π6)\cos\left(\dfrac{5\pi}{6}\right)?

The reference angle for 5π6\dfrac{5\pi}{6} is π6\dfrac{\pi}{6}. Cosine is negative in Quadrant II, so cos(5π6)=cos(π6)=32\cos\left(\dfrac{5\pi}{6}\right) = -\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right) = -\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.

What is tan(3π4)\tan\left(\dfrac{3\pi}{4}\right)?

The reference angle for 3π4\dfrac{3\pi}{4} is π4\dfrac{\pi}{4}. Tangent is negative in Quadrant II, so tan(3π4)=tan(π4)=1\tan\left(\dfrac{3\pi}{4}\right) = -\tan\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right) = -1.

What is sin(5π6)\sin\left(\dfrac{5\pi}{6}\right)?

The angle 5π6\dfrac{5\pi}{6} is in Quadrant II with reference angle π6\dfrac{\pi}{6}. Sine is positive there, so sin(5π6)=sin(π6)=12\sin\left(\dfrac{5\pi}{6}\right) = \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right) = \dfrac{1}{2}.

What is cos(π3)\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)?

On the unit circle, cos(π3)=12\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right) = \dfrac{1}{2}.

Practice playeasy

What is sin(3π2)\sin\left(\dfrac{3\pi}{2}\right)?

At 3π2\dfrac{3\pi}{2} the terminal side points to (0,1)(0, -1) on the unit circle, so sin(3π2)=1\sin\left(\dfrac{3\pi}{2}\right) = -1.

What is tan(7π4)\tan\left(\dfrac{7\pi}{4}\right)?

The reference angle for 7π4\dfrac{7\pi}{4} is π4\dfrac{\pi}{4}. Tangent is negative in Quadrant IV, so tan(7π4)=tan(π4)=1\tan\left(\dfrac{7\pi}{4}\right) = -\tan\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right) = -1.
