cot((-2pi)/3)

cot (\frac{- 2 π}{3})

\frac{3}{3}

Decimal Notation

0.57735 \dots

Solution steps

cot (\frac{- 2 π}{3})

Simplify

= cot (- \frac{2 π}{3})

Use the following property:

cot (- x) = - cot (x)

cot (- \frac{2 π}{3}) = - cot (\frac{2 π}{3})

= - cot (\frac{2 π}{3})

Use the following trivial identity:

cot (\frac{2 π}{3}) = - \frac{3}{3}

cot (\frac{2 π}{3})

cot (x)
