$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

Vedclass · Answer

(B) We know that $\cos 15^{\circ} = \cos(45^{\circ} - 30^{\circ}) = \cos 45^{\circ} \cos 30^{\circ} + \sin 45^{\circ} \sin 30^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2\sqrt{2}}$.Also, $\sin 15^{\circ} = \sin(45^{\circ} - 30^{\circ}) = \sin 45^{\circ} \cos 30^{\circ} - \cos 45^{\circ} \sin 30^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{2\sqrt{2}}$.Subtracting the two values:$\cos 15^{\circ} - \sin 15^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{2\sqrt{2}} - \frac{\sqrt{3} - 1}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1 - \sqrt{3} + 1}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{2}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
