Chapter 10-1 in this lesson, we are not allowed to use calculators.
also you have to know the trig chart in order to do this lesson.
you must know this.

Formulas:
- cos(alpha+-beta)=cos(alpha)cos(beta)-+sin(alpha)sin(beta)
- sin(alpha+-beta)=sin(alpha)cos(beta)+-cos(alpha)sin(beta)

Ex: Find the exact value of sin 30
Find the values of alpha and beta from the trig chart that add or subtract to get 30. Which would be 60 and 30.

sin(60-30) = (√3/2)(√3/2) - (1/2)(1/2)

sin(30) = 3/4 - 1/4

sin(30) = 1/2

And thats about it for this lesson.
