Math tutorial for using the sum of two angles formula of sine for 105 degrees

The video tutorial explains how to find the exact value of sine 105 degrees using sum and difference formulas. It begins by discussing why the unit circle and calculator approximations are insufficient for this task. The instructor then demonstrates how to rewrite 105 degrees as a sum of known angles and applies the sum formula to calculate the exact value. The tutorial concludes with a discussion on simplifying the expression and understanding radical rules.

Why can't the unit circle be used directly to find the sine of 105 degrees?

• The angle is not a standard angle on the unit circle.

• The unit circle only works for angles less than 90 degrees.

• 105 degrees is not a real angle.

• The unit circle is only for cosine values.

What is the purpose of using sum and difference formulas in this context?

• To simplify the use of a calculator.

• To convert degrees to radians.
