Use your calculator to work out $$\frac{\sin 25^\circ + \sin 40^\circ}{\cos 25^\circ - \cos 40^\circ}$$ (a) Write down all the figures on your calculator display - Edexcel - GCSE Maths - Question 8 - 2017 - Paper 2

To evaluate the expression, first, we need to compute the values of $\sin 25^\circ$, $\sin 40^\circ$, $\cos 25^\circ$, and $\cos 40^\circ$ using a scientific calculator:

1. Calculate $\sin 25^\circ \approx 0.42262$
2. Calculate $\sin 40^\circ \approx 0.64279$
3. Calculate $\cos 25^\circ \approx 0.90631$
4. Calculate $\cos 40^\circ \approx 0.76604$

Substituting these values into the main expression:

$\frac{0.42262 + 0.64279}{0.90631 - 0.76604}$

This simplifies to:

$\frac{1.06541}{0.14027} \approx 7.60005$

The calculator display shows: 7.60005.
