Use a sum or difference equation to find the exact value of the following: sin(7pi/18) cos(2pi/9) - cos(7pi/18) sin(2pi/9) PLEASE HELP ME

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sum or difference *formula

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{darkgreen}{ \rm cos~(~7π/18~-~2π/9~) }\) tell me what you get when you expand it to verify, but for now, I'll simplify this answer even more

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you can't expand it because 110 is not divisible by 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is cos(110) the answer then?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

sorry, I made an error

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I got cos(110) correctly,but

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{darkgreen}{ \rm cos~(7π/18 + 2π/9) }\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

shouldn't it be sin instead of cos

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{darkgreen}{ \rm cos~(7π/18 - 2π/9) }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{darkgreen}{ \rm cos~(7π/18 - 4π/18) }\) \(\normalsize\color{darkgreen}{ \rm cos~(3π/18) }\) \(\normalsize\color{darkgreen}{ \rm cos~(30) }\)
