The expression "\sin C" refers to the sine of an angle C in trigonometry. The sine function is a fundamental mathematical function that relates the angle of a right triangle to the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the hypotenuse. It is commonly used in various fields, including physics, engineering, and computer graphics. In the context of a unit circle, "\sin C" represents the y-coordinate of a point on the circle corresponding to the angle C . The sine function has a range of values between -1 and 1, making it useful for modeling periodic phenomena, such as sound waves and oscillations in physics.
