Rewrite as a single expression. $\cos 6 \theta \cos 3 \theta-\sin 6 \theta \sin 3 \theta$

Solution.

$$\begin{align*} & \cos 6 \theta \cos 3 \theta-\sin 6 \theta \sin 3 \theta \\ & = \cos (6\theta +3\theta) \\ & = \cos 9\theta . \end{align*}$$

Rewrite as a single expression. $\cos 7 \theta \cos 2 \theta+\sin 7 \theta \sin 2 \theta$.

Solution.

$$\begin{align*} & \cos 7 \theta \cos 2 \theta + \sin 7 \theta \sin 2 \theta \\ & = \cos (7\theta -2\theta) \\ & = \cos 5\theta . \end{align*}$$

Rewrite as a single expression. $\sin \left(\frac{\theta}{3}\right) \cos \left(\frac{\theta}{6}\right)+\cos \left(\frac{\theta}{3}\right) \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{6}\right)$

Solution.

$$\begin{align*} & \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{3}\right) \cos \left(\frac{\theta}{6}\right) + \cos \left(\frac{\theta}{3}\right) \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{6}\right) \\ & = \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{3} + \frac{\theta}{6}\right) \\ & = \sin \left(\frac{2\theta}{6} + \frac{\theta}{6}\right) \\ & = \sin \left(\frac{3\theta}{6}\right) \\ & = \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) \end{align*}$$

Rewrite as a single expression. $\sin 138^{\circ} \cos 46^{\circ}-\cos 138^{\circ} \sin 46^{\circ}$.

Solution.

$$\begin{align*} & \sin 138^{\circ} \cos 46^{\circ} - \cos 138^{\circ} \sin 46^{\circ} \\ & = \sin(138^{\circ} - 46^{\circ}) \\ & = \sin(92^{\circ}). \end{align*}$$

Rewrite as a single expression. $\dfrac{\tan 75^{\circ}-\tan 45^{\circ}}{1+\tan 75^{\circ} \tan 45^{\circ}}$

Solution.

$$\begin{align*} & \dfrac{\tan 75^{\circ} - \tan 45^{\circ}}{1 + \tan 75^{\circ} \tan 45^{\circ}} \\ & = \tan(75^{\circ} - 45^{\circ}) \\ & = \tan(30^{\circ}). \end{align*}$$

Rewrite as a single expression. $\dfrac{\tan \frac{4 \pi}{3}+\tan \frac{2 \pi}{3}}{1-\tan \frac{4 \pi}{3} \tan \frac{2 \pi}{3}}$

Solution.

$$\begin{align*} & \dfrac{\tan \frac{4 \pi}{3} + \tan \frac{2 \pi}{3}}{1 - \tan \frac{4 \pi}{3} \tan \frac{2 \pi}{3}} & = \tan\left(\frac{4\pi}{3} + \frac{2\pi}{3}\right) \\ & = \tan\left(2\pi\right). \end{align*}$$
