To explain: The error when value of sine of 4 rad is evaluated, one person compute it as
Answer to Problem 72E
The error is the calculator is not converted to radian mode to estimate the value. The correct value of sine of 4 rad is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The different estimation of sine of 4 rad.
It is provided that the result of sine of 4 rad on my calculator is
The difference in values is there because my partner didn’t convert the angle measure to radian. Scientific calculator have default measurement in degrees so my partner evaluated the value of sine of 4 degree which is
Thus, the error is the calculator is not converted to radian mode to estimate the value. The correct value of sine of 4 rad is
