13. Find the exact value of sin 30 ° - sin 45 ° cos 45 ° .
. 0
b. 1/2
c. 1
d. 2
Here's how:
sin(30)=1/2, sin(45)=, cos(45)=, therefore,




14. Find the value of tan 42 ° to 4 decimal places.
a. 2.2914
. 0.9004 Make sure you calculator is on degree mode.
c. 1.1106
d. 0.7431

15. Find the value of sec 38 ° to 4 decimal places.
a. 1.6243
b. 0.7880
c. 0.6157
. 1.2690
sec(x)=1/cos(x), so if you have a ti-83 type in (cos(38)) and it will give you the reciprocal of cos(38) which is sec(38).
Happy Calculating!!!
