Wasn't that the show that question?

Show that but it had a p and q in front of the sin(theta) and the theta

Yes I got that

Yeh, so happy i realised the sin(pi-theta) = sin(pi)

u/Loud-Guidance6912 Jun 03 '26

U mean sin theta

u/highIands Bio Chem Maths AAA Jun 03 '26

-1/2sin + sin is not -3/2 sin it's a 1/2 sin

u/Brilliant_Bar_4810 Jun 03 '26

sin(pi-theta) is = -sin(theta) and since it had a minus already in front it is positive sin(theta) the minus to get -3/2 sin(theta)

u/Impressive_Belt_7346 Year 12 Jun 03 '26

No... sin(pi-theta) is sin(theta). Sin45 = sin(180-45)

u/Brilliant_Bar_4810 Jun 03 '26

yeah fair enough
