Section 5.4 – Sum and Difference Identities

Use sum and difference identities to find the exact value of each.

1. cos 75⁰ 2. cos 375⁰

3. sin -165⁰ 4. sin -105⁰

5. sin 95⁰cos55⁰ + cos95⁰sin 55⁰ 6. cos 160⁰cos 40⁰ + sin 160⁰sin40⁰

7. tan (135⁰ + 120⁰) 8. tan 345⁰

If 𝜶 and 𝜷 are two first quadrant angles, find the exact value of each function.
