In mathematics,
what is identities?

•Identity is an
equation which is
true for all values of
the variable in the
domain of the
equation.
•Conditional Equation
-is an equation that is
true for some values of the
variables but not true for
others.

Solution 1:
Given:
1.) sin 150 0 sin 150 0
= sin(90° + 60°)
𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝐴 + 𝐵) = 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝐴 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝐵 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝐴 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝐵
2.) cos (− 𝜋 12) s𝑖𝑛(90° + 60°) = sin(90°) cos(60°) + 𝑐𝑜𝑠(90°)𝑠𝑖𝑛(60°)
s𝑖𝑛(90° + 60°) = 1 ( 1/ 2 ) + 0 ( √3 /2 )

cos (− 𝜋/ 12) = 𝑐𝑜𝑠 𝜋 /12
c𝑜𝑠 𝜋 /12 = cos ( 𝜋/ 3 − 𝜋 /4 )
