What is the sin of 2 theta?

The sine of 2 theta (2θ) equals 2 sin(θ)cos(θ). According to one of the sine properties: sin(2x) = 2sin(x)cos(x). So, if you know the values for the sine and cosine of theta, you can easily find the sine of 2 theta.

How do I find the sin of theta/2?

To find the sin of theta/2: Write down the sine half-angle equation: sin(θ/2) = ±√[(1-cos(θ))/2]. Replace theta θ within the equation and solve the square root. To choose the sign, follow this rule: The result is positive (+) if the half angle lies in the I or the II quadrant; or Negative (-) if it lies on the III or IV quadrant.

What is the sin of 0?

0. The value for the sine function at 0 is 0. The y-axis component of the radius in the unit circle is 0 when the radius lies on the horizontal axis (which corresponds to angle zero).

What is the definition of sin/sine?

Before we start with the sine function definition, we need to introduce the unit circle. This circle is centered at the origin, and its radius equals one.

If we draw a line from the origin to any point on this unit circle, an angle theta $θ$ θ will be formed between this radius and the horizontal axis.

The sine, or sin, is the y-axis coordinate of this radius as the angle changes describing any point on the unit circle.

Y-axis projection of the radius at a given angle on a unitary circle.

Like cosine, sine is a periodic function with a period of 2π. This means that for any argument $θ$ θ: $sin (θ +$ 2kπ)=sin(θ)sin(θ+2kπ)=sin(θ) where $k$ k is any integer.

💡 Test it out! Input any angle in our sin theta calculator and write down the sine result. Now try again with the same angle, but add 2*π (or 360°, if you're using degrees) to it and see if the results match.

Properties of sine

Here's a list of some of the sine properties and trigonometric identities involving the sine function:

$sin (- x)$ sin(−x)	$=$ −sin(x)=−sin(x)
$sin^{2} (x)$ sin2(x)	$=$ 1−cos2(x)=1−cos2(x)
$sin (2 x)$ sin(2x)	$=$ 2⋅sin(x)⋅cos(x)=2⋅sin(x)⋅cos(x)
$sin (\frac{x}{2})$ sin(2x)	$=$ ±21−cos(x)=±21−cos(x)
$sin (x +$ y)sin(x+y)	$=$ sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y)=sin(x)cos(y)+cos(x)sin(y)
$sin (x -$ y)sin(x−y)	$=$ sin(x)cos(y)−cos(x)sin(y)=sin(x)cos(y)−cos(x)sin(y)
$\frac{d}{d x} sin (x)$ dxdsin(x)	$=$ cos(x)=cos(x) (*)

(*) Only when using radians.
