<h3>Explanation</h3>
32
<h3>Explanation</h3>
34
<p>Using the formula sin(A - B) = sinA * cosB - cosA * sinB: sin(45° - 30°) = sin45° * cos30° - cos45° * sin30° = (√2/2 * √3/2) - (√2/2 * 1/2) = (√6/4) - (√2/4) = (√6 - √2)/4 = 0.2588</p>
33
<p>Using the formula sin(A - B) = sinA * cosB - cosA * sinB: sin(45° - 30°) = sin45° * cos30° - cos45° * sin30° = (√2/2 * √3/2) - (√2/2 * 1/2) = (√6/4) - (√2/4) = (√6 - √2)/4 = 0.2588</p>

<h3>Explanation</h3>

<h3>Explanation</h3>
41
<p>Using the formula cos(A - B) = cosA * cosB + sinA * sinB: cos(60° - 45°) = cos60° * cos45° + sin60° * sin45° = (1/2 * √2/2) + (√3/2 * √2/2) = (√2/4) + (√6/4) = (√2 + √6)/4 = 0.2588</p>

<p>Using the formula cos(A - B) = cosA * cosB + sinA * sinB: cos(60° - 45°) = cos60° * cos45° + sin60° * sin45° = (1/2 * √2/2) + (√3/2 * √2/2) = (√2/4) + (√6/4) = (√2 + √6)/4 = 0.2588</p>

<h3>Explanation</h3>

<h3>Explanation</h3>
48
<p>Using the formula tan(A - B) = (tanA - tanB) / (1 + tanA * tanB): tan(30° - 15°) = (tan30° - tan15°) / (1 + tan30° * tan15°) = (1/√3 - (√3 - 1)/(√3 + 1)) / (1 + 1/√3 * (√3 - 1)/(√3 + 1)) = (1/√3 - (√3 - 1)/(√3 + 1)) / (1 + 1/3) = 0.2679</p>

<p>Using the formula tan(A - B) = (tanA - tanB) / (1 + tanA * tanB): tan(30° - 15°) = (tan30° - tan15°) / (1 + tan30° * tan15°) = (1/√3 - (√3 - 1)/(√3 + 1)) / (1 + 1/√3 * (√3 - 1)/(√3 + 1)) = (1/√3 - (√3 - 1)/(√3 + 1)) / (1 + 1/3) = 0.2679</p>
