Can anyone help me solve the following trig equation ((sin75-sin15))/((cos75+cos15))=square root(3)/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My work thus far has been 2cos(1/2)(75+15)sin(1/2)(75-15)/((2cos1/2(75+15)cos1/2(75-15))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sina- sinb = 2 cos(a+b/2)sin(a-b/2) cosa+cob=2cos(a+b/2)cos(a-b/2) use these formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 2square root(2)/2(1/2)/(square root(2)/2) square root(3)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes do cancellations in numerator and in denominbator if any

Its simple... U have to know the conversion to sum or difference from the product or vice versa.... Sin75-Sin15= 2Cos(75+15)/2*Sin(75-15)/2 U will get 2cos45Sin30 now, Cos 75+Cos15=2Cos(75+15)/2*Cos(75-15)/2 U will get 2cos45Cos30 divide these two as in the question...... U will get 1/Squareroot3 which also equals square root(3)/3

I see now thanks waleed.
