Getting a 35S/33S to behave - Matt Agajanian - 04-24-2014 06:02 PM Hello all. Let me cite the trig issue of the 33s/35s. Although trig operations near 90 degrees are a dud, is there a means to normalise a near 90 value so that a trig function can return an accurate result? Would converting the angle from degrees to radians/grads and calculating the trig function in radians/grads help? RE: Getting a 35S/33S to behave - r. pienne - 04-24-2014 06:08 PM Try it and see. RE: Getting a 35S/33S to behave - Matt Agajanian - 04-24-2014 06:15 PM Okie doke.

Quote:Would converting the angle from degrees to radians/grads and calculating the trig function in radians/grads help?Probably not. Replace \(90\) by \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) in the formulas above when using radians mode.

Thanks! Those are normalisation techniques I can live with. RE: Getting a 35S/33S to behave - Matt Agajanian - 04-24-2014 10:05 PM Okay here's a test: sin(1.566981956radians) and cos(0.003814371radians) yield 0.999992725295 on the 35S sin(1.5669819576radians) and cos(0.00381437113radians) yields 0.999992725295 on the 11C sin(1.5669819576radians) and cos(0.00381437113radians) yields 0.999992725303 on the 32S-II sin(1.5669819576radians) and cos(0.00381437113radians) yields 0.999992725303 on the 42S So, what's the verdict?

I get sin(1.566981956) = 0.9999927253. I might not get why you use different input for the 35S and the other models.

From a previous thread about the HP-33S: Quote:105 * sin(0.0001) You could try another identity: \(\sin(x)=2\sin(\frac{x}{2})\cos(\frac{x}{2})\). Code: 2 Cheers Thomas |
