How this solver works

  1. Evaluate known values.
  2. If the equation is not yet supported, say so rather than listing an incomplete family of solutions.

Worked examples

sin(30°)=1/2

  1. Known value

Answer: 1/2

Common mistakes

Missing coterminal angles

Sine is also 1/2 at 150° in [0°, 360°).

Frequently asked questions

Will you list every solution?

A complete general solution needs a specified interval. Use the unit circle and add 360°k (or 2πk) as your course requires.
