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.

Calculation of the sine

Sine calculating an angle in radians

Main properties

`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)`

Derivative of sine

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

Antiderivative of sine

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

Properties of the sine function

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.

Equation with sine

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.
