cot^{2} (3 6^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

cot (3 6^{\circ}) = \frac{( 3 10 + 5 2 ) 5 - 5}{20}

cot (3 6^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{cos ( 3 6 ^{\circ} )}{sin ( 3 6 ^{\circ} )}

cot (3 6^{\circ})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

cot (x) = \frac{cos ( x )}{sin ( x )}

= \frac{cos ( 3 6 ^{\circ} )}{sin ( 3 6 ^{\circ} )}

= \frac{cos ( 3 6 ^{\circ} )}{sin ( 3 6 ^{\circ} )}

Rewrite using trig identities:

cos (3 6^{\circ}) = \frac{5 + 1}{4}

cos (3 6^{\circ})

Show that:

cos (3 6^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ}) = \frac{1}{2}

Use the following product to sum identity:

2 sin (x) cos (y) = sin (x + y) - sin (x - y)

2 cos (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}) = sin (5 4^{\circ}) - sin (1 8^{\circ})

Show that:

Use the Double Angle identity:

sin (2 x) = 2 sin (x) cos (x)

sin (7 2^{\circ}) = 2 sin (3 6^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ})

sin (7 2^{\circ}) sin (3 6^{\circ}) = 4 sin (3 6^{\circ}) sin (1 8^{\circ}) cos (3 6^{\circ}) cos (1 8^{\circ})

Divide both sides by

sin (3 6^{\circ})

a = a^{\frac{1}{2}}

= (2^{\frac{1}{2}})^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a^{b})^{c} = a^{b c}

= 2^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 = 1

\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= 1

= 2

= 5^{2} \cdot 2

5^{2} = 25

= 25 \cdot 2

Multiply the numbers:

25 \cdot 2 = 50

= 50

= 90 + 605 + 50

Add the numbers:

90 + 50 = 140

= 140 + 605

= 140 + 605

= \frac{( 140 + 60 5 ) ( 5 - 5 )}{2 0 ^{2}}

Factor

140 + 605 : 20 (7 + 35)

140 + 605

Rewrite as

= 20 \cdot 7 + 20 \cdot 35

Factor out common term

20

= 20 (7 + 35)

= \frac{20 ( 7 + 3 5 ) ( 5 - 5 )}{2 0 ^{2}}

Cancel the common factor:

20

= \frac{( 7 + 3 5 ) ( 5 - 5 )}{20}

Expand

(7 + 35) (5 - 5) : 20 + 85

(7 + 35) (5 - 5)

Apply FOIL method:

(a + b) (c + d) = a c + a d + b c + b d

a = 7, b = 35, c = 5, d = - 5

= 7 \cdot 5 + 7 (- 5) + 35 \cdot 5 + 35 (- 5)

Apply minus-plus rules

+ (- a) = - a

= 7 \cdot 5 - 75 + 3 \cdot 55 - 355

Simplify

7 \cdot 5 - 75 + 3 \cdot 55 - 355 : 20 + 85

7 \cdot 5 - 75 + 3 \cdot 55 - 355

7 \cdot 5 = 35

7 \cdot 5

Multiply the numbers:

7 \cdot 5 = 35

= 35

3 \cdot 55 = 155

3 \cdot 55

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 5 = 15

= 155

355 = 15

355

Apply radical rule:

a a = a

55 = 5

= 3 \cdot 5

Multiply the numbers:

3 \cdot 5 = 15

= 15

= 35 - 75 + 155 - 15

Add similar elements:

- 75 + 155 = 85

= 35 + 85 - 15

Subtract the numbers:

35 - 15 = 20

= 20 + 85

= 20 + 85

= \frac{20 + 8 5}{20}

Factor

20 + 85 : 4 (5 + 25)

20 + 85

Rewrite as

= 4 \cdot 5 + 4 \cdot 25

Factor out common term

4

= 4 (5 + 25)

= \frac{4 ( 5 + 2 5 )}{20}

Cancel the common factor:

4

= \frac{5 + 2 5}{5}

= \frac{5 + 2 5}{5}
