sin(75)-sin(15)

sin (7 5^{\circ}) - sin (1 5^{\circ})

\frac{2}{2}

Decimal Notation

0.70710 \dots

Solution steps

sin (7 5^{\circ}) - sin (1 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

2 sin (3 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ})

sin (7 5^{\circ}) - sin (1 5^{\circ})

Use the Sum to Product identity:

sin (s) - sin (t) = 2 sin (\frac{s - t}{2}) cos (\frac{s + t}{2})

= 2 sin (\frac{7 5 ^{\circ} - 1 5 ^{\circ}}{2}) cos (\frac{7 5 ^{\circ} + 1 5 ^{\circ}}{2})

Simplify

= 2 sin (3 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ})

= 2 sin (3 0^{\circ}) cos (4 5^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (3 0^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

sin (3 0^{\circ})

sin (x)

36 0^{\circ} n

cycle:

= \frac{1}{2}

Use the following trivial identity:

cos (4 5^{\circ}) = \frac{2}{2}

cos (4 5^{\circ})

= \frac{2}{2}

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2} : \frac{2}{2}

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{2}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} \cdot \frac{d}{e} = \frac{a \cdot b \cdot d}{c \cdot e}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Multiply:

1 \cdot 2 = 2

= \frac{2}{2}

= \frac{2}{2}
