# Pre-Calc

1)
Use an Addition or Subtraction Formula to write the expression as a trigonometric function of one number.

cos 12° cos 18° − sin 12° sin 18°

And Find its exact value.

2)
Use an Addition or Subtraction Formula to write the expression as a trigonometric function of one number.

sin 4pi/5 cos 7pi/15 - cos 4pi/5 sin 7pi/15

And find its exact value.

3)

Write the trigonometric expression in terms of sine and cosine, and then simplify.

tan θ / cos θ − sec θ

1. 1) that would be cos(12°+18°) which I'm sure you know

2) sin(4π/5-7π/5)

3)
well,

tan/cos = sin/cos^2 and sec = 1/cos

2. Thank you so much but are those the expressions or exact answers for the first two problems?

3. they are expressions. You surely know the exact value of cos(30°)

as for sin(-3π/5) you would have to construct a pentagon and figure out some side lengths. figure out sin 36° and then sin 72° and then the sine of 108°.
