How do you find \sin(105º) using sum or difference formulas?
Back
Use \sin(105º) = \sin(60º + 45º) = \sin 60º \cos 45º + \cos 60º \sin 45º = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6}}{4}.

What is the value of \tan(\alpha - \beta) if \tan \alpha = \frac{3}{4} and \tan \beta = -\frac{1}{2}?
Back
\tan(\alpha - \beta) = \frac{\tan \alpha - \tan \beta}{1 + \tan \alpha \tan \beta} = \frac{\frac{3}{4} - (-\frac{1}{2})}{1 + \frac{3}{4} \cdot (-\frac{1}{2})} = 2.

How do you find \sin(\frac{7\pi}{12}) using sum or difference formulas?
Back
Use \sin(\frac{7\pi}{12}) = \sin(\frac{3\pi}{4} + \frac{\pi}{3}) = \sin(\frac{3\pi}{4}) \cos(\frac{\pi}{3}) + \cos(\frac{3\pi}{4}) \sin(\frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}}{4}.
