I have a question on cosines from your algebra 2 tutorial. In example 1. Find cosine of 15 degrees. It says to write 15 degrees in terms of angles with known trig values 45 and 30 degrees. I am missing the jump from 15 degrees to 45-30. Can you explain why those numbers were picked and what the rational behind that.
Thanks so much!!!
