Question 1173356: To solve a problem, a student had to find a certain angle θ. The student got to the line
sin θ = 5/2
and knew that he must have made a mistake. Explain how he knew that he had made a
mistake and why his calculator would have given him an “error” message if he had tried to
continue. Draw a diagram . Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! sine function has to be between -1 and 1.
5/2 is greater than 1.
find arcsin(5/2) in your calculator and you will get something to indicate an error has occurred.
in my ti-84 plus, the error message says err: domain
