Hey,

we're learning trig identities in school and finding exact values just makes no sense to me anymore. i was wondering if someone could help me - or at least point me in the right direction - with solving this:

Find the exact value of the following:

tan(7π/12)
sin105°


Thanks in advance

Do you know the exact values of:

tan(π/4)

tan(π/3)

tan(A+B)

sin(45o)

sin(60o)

sin(A+B)

yeah

tan(π/4) = 1

tan(π/3) = square root of 3

tan(A+B) = (tanA + tanB)/(1 - tanAtanB) .................Those parentheses are super important

sin(45o) = √2/2

sin(60o) = √3/2

sin(A+B) = sinAcosB + cosAsinB

What do i do from there though?

tan(A+B) - tanA + tanB/1 - tanAtanB

sin(45) - √2/2

sin(60º]) - √3/2

sin(A+B) - sinAcosB + cosAsinB

What do i do from there though?
Notice:


π/4 + π/3 = 7π/12

and

45º + 60º = 105º

What do you think you should do now?

OHH. I figured out the sin105 question, but the tan 7pi/12 question tripped me up. Now i feel stupid lmao thank you so much though
 
Khan told you that π/4 + π/3 = 7π/12, you know the formula for tan(a+b) and you know the value of know tan(π/4) and tan (π/3)? So use this information in the formula for tan(a+b)
