The range (0,pi) covers the first and the second quadrant
where the values of the sine function are positive.
We'll
apply, for the beginning, the Pythagorean identity:
(sin
x)^2 + (cos x)^2=1
We'll divide the formula with the value
(sin x)^2:
(sin x)^2/ (sin x)^2 + (cos x)^2/(sin x)^2 = 1 /
(sin x)^2
But the ratio sin x /cos x= tan x and cos x/sin
x=1/tan x
The formula will
become:
1 + (cotx)^2 = 1/(sin
x)^2
sin x = 1/sqrt[1+(cot
x)^2]
sin x =
1/sqrt[1+(3/2)^2]
sin x=
1/sqrt(1+9/4)
sin x = 2/sqrt13 => sin x =
2sqrt13/13
The requested value for sin x is :
sin x = 2sqrt13/13
