sin^2(15)+sin^2(75)

Solution

sin^{2} (1 5^{\circ}) + sin^{2} (7 5^{\circ})

Solution

1

Solution steps

sin^{2} (1 5^{\circ}) + sin^{2} (7 5^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

sin^{2} (1 5^{\circ}) = \frac{1 - cos ( 3 0 ^{\circ} )}{2}

sin^{2} (1 5^{\circ})

Use the following identity:

sin^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 - cos ( 2 θ )}{2}

Use the Double Angle identity

cos (2 θ) = 1 - 2 sin^{2} (θ)

Switch sides

2 sin^{2} (θ) - 1 = - cos (2 θ)

Add

1

to both sides

2 sin^{2} (θ) = 1 - cos (2 θ)

Divide both sides by

2

sin^{2} (θ) = \frac{1 - cos ( 2 θ )}{2}

= \frac{1 - cos ( 2 \cdot 1 5 ^{\circ} )}{2}

Simplify

= \frac{1 - cos ( 3 0 ^{\circ} )}{2}

= \frac{1 - cos ( 3 0 ^{\circ} )}{2} + sin^{2} (7 5^{\circ})

Simplify

= \frac{1 - cos ( 3 0 ^{\circ} ) + 2 sin ^{2} ( 7 5 ^{\circ} )}{2}
