Find the value of π23π10\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{3 \pi}{10}.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given the expression π23π10\frac{\pi}{2}-\frac{3\pi}{10}.
2. We need to simplify the expression.

STEP 2

To subtract the fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of the denominators 2 and 10 is 10.

STEP 3

Convert the first fraction π2\frac{\pi}{2} to have the denominator 10.
π2=π2×55=5π10\frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{\pi}{2} \times \frac{5}{5} = \frac{5\pi}{10}

STEP 4

Now we have two fractions with the same denominator, which allows us to subtract them directly.
5π103π10\frac{5\pi}{10} - \frac{3\pi}{10}

STEP 5

Subtract the numerators while keeping the denominator the same.
5π3π10\frac{5\pi - 3\pi}{10}

STEP 6

Perform the subtraction in the numerator.
2π10\frac{2\pi}{10}

STEP 7

Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
2π10=π5\frac{2\pi}{10} = \frac{\pi}{5}
The simplified expression is π5\frac{\pi}{5}.
