$\sin (\arctan (\frac{1}{3}))$

Step 1

Multiply $\frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{10}}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{10}}{\sqrt{10} \sqrt{10}}$

Step 2

Raise $\sqrt{10}$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{10}}{{\sqrt{10}}^{1} \sqrt{10}}$

Step 3

Raise $\sqrt{10}$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{10}}{{\sqrt{10}}^{1} {\sqrt{10}}^{1}}$

Step 4

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{\sqrt{10}}{{\sqrt{10}}^{1 + 1}}$

Step 5

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{10}}{{\sqrt{10}}^{2}}$

Step 6

Rewrite ${\sqrt{10}}^{2}$ as $10$ .

Step 6.1

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{10}$ as $10^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{10}}{{(10^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}}$

Step 6.2

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{10}}{10^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}}$

Step 6.3

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{10}}{10^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Step 6.4

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .
