To simplify (\sin(165^\circ)) using the sum and difference formula for sine, we express (165^\circ) as the sum or difference of known angles whose sine values we can calculate easily.
Since (165^\circ = 180^\circ - 15^\circ), we can use the difference formula for sine:
[ \sin(A - B) = \sin A \cos B - \cos A \sin B ]
Let (A = 180^\circ) and (B = 15^\circ). We know that (\sin(180^\circ) = 0) and (\cos(180^\circ) = -1), and (\sin(15^\circ)) and (\cos(15^\circ)) can be calculated.
Substituting these values into the formula:
[ \sin(165^\circ) = \sin(180^\circ - 15^\circ) = \sin 180^\circ \cos 15^\circ - \cos 180^\circ \sin 15^\circ ]
[ = (0)(\cos 15^\circ) - (-1)(\sin 15^\circ) = \sin 15^\circ ]
Now, you can use the value of (\sin 15^\circ) obtained from trigonometric tables or calculated using trigonometric identities.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
