The final answer is 0
Steps to Solve
- Recall the periodicity of the sine function
The sine function has a period of $2\pi$, which means $\sin(\theta) = \sin(\theta + 2k\pi)$ for any integer $k$. Therefore,
$$\sin(2\pi) = \sin(0 + 2\pi) = \sin(0)$$
- Evaluate $\sin(0)$
From the unit circle, we know that the sine of $0$ radians is $0$.
$$\sin(0) = 0$$
Therefore,
$$\sin(2\pi) = 0$$
The final answer is 0
More Information
The sine function has a periodicity of $2\pi$, so $\sin(2\pi)$ is equivalent to $\sin(0)$. Since $\sin(0) = 0$, $\sin(2\pi)$ also equals $0$.
Tips
A common mistake is to overlook the periodic nature of the sine function and not use the fact that $\sin(2\pi)$ is equivalent to $\sin(0)$.
