Simplify each of the following 35 2 sin 15 cos 15 37 1 2 sin
Simplify each of the following. 35. 2 sin 15° cos 15° 37. 1 2 sin2 75° 39. sincos 1212 tan 22.5 1-tan 22.5° 41.
Solution
35. 2sin 15 cos 15
This is of the form
2 sinA cos A which is equal to sin2A
SO we get sin (2*15)=sin 30=1/2
37. 1-2sin275
This is of the form 1-2sin2A=cos(2A)
so we get cos(2*75)=cos 150
-sqrt3/2
39. sin pi/2 cos pi/2
This is of the form sin A cos A=sin(2A)/2
So we get(1/2) sin(2*pi/2)=1/2*0=0
41. tan 22.5/(1-tan222.5)
Which is of the form tan A/(1-tan2A) that is equal to tan (2A)
So we get
tan(2*22.5)=tan 45=1
