What is the value of sin 75° cos 15° − cos 75° sin 15°?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: √3/2

Direct answer: √3/2, so option D is correct. Recall the sine-difference identity: sin(A − B) = sin A cos B − cos A sin B. The given expression has exactly this pattern, with A = 75° and B = 15°. Therefore it becomes sin(75° − 15°) = sin 60°. From the standard special-angle values, sin 60° = √3/2. Option D is therefore the only correct choice. Option A, 0, would be sin 0°, but the angle difference is 60°, not 0°. Option B, 1/2, is sin 30°, so it corresponds to the wrong angle. Option C, 1, is sin 90°, which also does not match. A useful warning is not to change the order of subtraction: sin(A − B) has the exact sign pattern shown in the question. Memory cue: ‘sine first angle times cosine second, minus cosine first times sine second’ means sine of the difference.
