To solve the expression sin[(-1)(3/5) + sin[(-1)(4/5)], we first need to simplify the argument of the sine function.

Breaking Down the Expression

The expression can be rewritten as:

  • sin[-(3/5)] + sin[-(4/5)]

Using the Sine Function Properties

Recall that sin(-x) = -sin(x). Therefore, we can rewrite the expression:

  • sin[-(3/5)] = -sin(3/5)
  • sin[-(4/5)] = -sin(4/5)

Now, substituting these values back into the expression gives us:

  • -sin(3/5) - sin(4/5)

Finding the Result

Next, we need to evaluate the sum:

  • - (sin(3/5) + sin(4/5))

Since both sin(3/5) and sin(4/5) are positive values, their sum will also be positive. Thus, the entire expression will be negative.

Final Answer

Since the result is negative, it cannot equal 0, 1/2, 1, or 2. Therefore, the answer is:

A. 0
