Using the sum/difference formula find: sin(pi/12) \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "sin(pi/12) = sin[(pi/3)-(pi/4)] = sin(pi/3)cos(pi/4)-cos(pi/3)sin(pi/4) \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "= (sqrt(3)/2)(sqrt(2)/2) - (1/2)(sqrt(2)/2) \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "= [sqrt(6)/4] - sqrt(2)/4) \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "= (sqrt(6)-sqrt(2))/4 \n" ); document.write( "========================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "======================== \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
