Problem

Evaluate the following expressions exactly, showing each step clearly and without using a calculator. (i) S=sin⁡75∘ cos⁡15∘+cos⁡75∘ sin⁡15∘S=\sin 75^{\circ}\,\cos 15^{\circ}+\cos 75^{\circ}\,\sin 15^{\circ}. (ii) P=sin⁡75∘ cos⁡15∘−cos⁡75∘ sin⁡15∘P=\sin 75^{\circ}\,\cos 15^{\circ}-\cos 75^{\circ}\,\sin 15^{\circ}. (iii) Verify that the value obtained in part (ii) equals sin⁡60∘\sin 60^{\circ}.\
