1. Problem Description

We need to find the exact value of sin(3π4)\sin(\frac{3\pi}{4}).

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to find the reference angle for 3π4\frac{3\pi}{4}. Since 3π4\frac{3\pi}{4} is in the second quadrant, the reference angle is π3π4=π4\pi - \frac{3\pi}{4} = \frac{\pi}{4}.
Now, we know that sin(π4)=22\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.
Since 3π4\frac{3\pi}{4} is in the second quadrant, the sine function is positive. Therefore, sin(3π4)=sin(π4)=22\sin(\frac{3\pi}{4}) = \sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.
To match one of the answer choices, we can rewrite 22\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} by rationalizing the denominator of 12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}:
12=1222=22\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}
Therefore, sin(3π4)=12\sin(\frac{3\pi}{4}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}.

3. Final Answer

12\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}
