   Q.$\tan 15° = ?$

   (a) $2 + \sqrt{3}$

   (b) $2 - \sqrt{3}$

   (c) $\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$

   (d) $\sqrt{3}$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Write $15° = 45° - 30°$ and apply $\tan(A-B) = \dfrac{\tan A - \tan B}{1+\tan A\tan B}$.

   $\tan 15° = \tan(45° - 30°) = \dfrac{\tan 45° - \tan 30°}{1 + \tan 45°\tan 30°} = \dfrac{1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt3}}{1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt3}} = \dfrac{\sqrt3 - 1}{\sqrt3 + 1}$

   Q.cos (x - y) - cos (x + y) = ..............

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Use the sum-to-product identity for cos A − cos B to simplify directly.

   Use the identity:

   $\cos A - \cos B = -2\sin\left(\frac{A+B}{2}\right)\sin\left(\frac{A-B}{2}\right)$

   Here $A = x-y$ and $B = x+y$:

   $\frac{A+B}{2} = \frac{(x-y)+(x+y)}{2} = x, \qquad \frac{A-B}{2} = \frac{(x-y)-(x+y)}{2} = -y$
