Find the value of :
(i) sin 75° (ii) tan 15°
Solution:  
(i) sin (75°) = sin (30° + 45°) = sin 30° cos 45° + cos 30° sin 45°
[Since sin (A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B]
= 12×12+32×12\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 122+322\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{2}} = 1+322\frac{1+\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{2}}
(ii) tan 15° = tan (45° – 30°)
= tan45tan301+tan45tan30\frac{\tan 45^{\circ} - \tan 30^{\circ}}{1 + \tan 45^{\circ} \tan 30^{\circ}}
[Since tan(AB)=tanAtanB1+tanAtanB]\left[ \text{Since } \tan (A-B) = \frac{\tan A - \tan B}{1 + \tan A \tan B} \right]
= 1131+1×13\frac{1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 + 1 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}} = 313+1\frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{\sqrt{3} + 1} = 2 - 3\sqrt{3}
