Answer
sin 75° = ( + 1)/(2)
(ii)
tan 15°
Answer
tan 15° = 2 -
Explanation
This question applies the sum and difference formulas for trigonometric functions, which are covered in Section 3.4 of the chapter. Following the method shown in Example 11 (which finds sin 15°), students express the given angles as sum or difference of standard angles (45° and 30°) whose trigonometric values are known.
