Sum and Difference Formulas

sin (u + v) = sin u cos v + cos u sin v

sin (u – v) = sin u cos v – cos u sin v
cos (u + v) = cos u cos v – sin u sin v
cos (u – v) = cos u cos v + sin u sin v

Problems:
Oooh! Those Ex1: (Each row choose 1 of the following)
Indeed
look like F U N!
they do ! Find the exact value of:

a.) sin 105 = _______

b.) cos 15 = ________
