1. 3.
tan (π/4-β) = (tanπ/4 - tanβ)/(1+tanπ/4 * tanβ) = (1-tanβ)/(1+tanβ)

8.
cos(λ+ π/3) = cosλ cosπ/3 - sinλ sinπ/3
= 1/2 cosλ - √3/2 sinλ

16.
Since cos(-x) = cos(x),
cos(-83°) = cos(83°)

23.
sin(x) = cos(90°-x), so
sin(125°) = cos(90°-125°) = cos(-35°) = cos(35°)

31.
sin(195°) = sin(180°+15°) = -sin(15°) = -sin(30°/2)
= -√((1-cos(30°))/2)
= -√(1-√3/2)/2)
= -√(2-√3) / 2 = -(√3-1) / 2√2
