Find Theta Value from Cosine
Given the equation $\cos 2\theta = \frac{1}{2}$.
We know that the principal value for which the cosine is $\frac{1}{2}$ is $60^\circ$.
Therefore, $2\theta = 60^\circ$.
Solving for $\theta$, we get $\theta = \frac{60^\circ}{2} = 30^\circ$.
Calculate Sine Expression
The expression to evaluate is $\sin(75^\circ - \theta)$.
Substitute the value of $\theta = 30^\circ$ into the expression:
$\sin(75^\circ - 30^\circ) = \sin(45^\circ)$
Determine Final Value
The value of $\sin(45^\circ)$ is a standard trigonometric value.
$\sin(45^\circ) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
Thus, the value of $\sin(75^\circ - \theta)$ is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.
