I like that Heureka. I would not thought to have used the mod function for this. Thanks ;)
Why is your answer different from Happy's answer?
sin(12^12^14)
Hi Melody,
here is the solution from WolframAlpha:
I think, the argument (12^12)^14 is to big for our calculator. But the mod - function is correct and departs from the argument multiple from 360 degrees.
The formula is $$\sin(\alpha) = \sin(\alpha \pm n*360\ensurement{^{\circ}} )$$
Thanks heureka,
This post is not just for heureka
I am still a little confused. Is there a glitch in the calculator? Why wasn't happy's answer the same?
$$\underset{\,\,\,\,^{\textcolor[rgb]{0.66,0.66,0.66}{360^\circ}}}{{sin}}{\left({\mathtt{400}}^\circ\right)} = {\mathtt{0.642\: \!787\: \!609\: \!687}}$$
$$\underset{\,\,\,\,^{\textcolor[rgb]{0.66,0.66,0.66}{360^\circ}}}{{sin}}{\left({\mathtt{400}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{360}}\right)} = {\mathtt{0.642\: \!787\: \!609\: \!687}}$$
Okay so why was mod function necessary - was it just that the sine function could not handle an angle that was so huge?
