The value of sin 50° − sin 70° + sin 10°

The value of \( \sin50^\circ-\sin70^\circ+\sin10^\circ \) is

Solution:
\[ =\sin50^\circ-\sin70^\circ+\sin10^\circ \]
Grouping first two terms, \[ =(\sin50^\circ-\sin70^\circ)+\sin10^\circ \]
Using identity, \[ \sin A-\sin B = 2\cos\frac{A+B}{2}\sin\frac{A-B}{2} \]
\[ = 2\cos60^\circ\sin(-10^\circ)+\sin10^\circ \]
\[ = 2\left(\frac12\right)(-\sin10^\circ)+\sin10^\circ \]
\[ = -\sin10^\circ+\sin10^\circ \]
\[ =0 \]
\[ \boxed{0} \]
