Solution

- 2 + 3

Decimal Notation

- 0.26794 \dots

Solution steps

tan (\frac{2 π}{3} + \frac{π}{4})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{tan ( \frac{2 π}{3} ) + tan ( \frac{π}{4} )}{1 - tan ( \frac{2 π}{3} ) tan ( \frac{π}{4} )}

tan (\frac{2 π}{3} + \frac{π}{4})

Use the Angle Sum identity:

tan (s + t) = \frac{tan ( s ) + tan ( t )}{1 - tan ( s ) tan ( t )}

= \frac{tan ( \frac{2 π}{3} ) + tan ( \frac{π}{4} )}{1 - tan ( \frac{2 π}{3} ) tan ( \frac{π}{4} )}

= \frac{tan ( \frac{2 π}{3} ) + tan ( \frac{π}{4} )}{1 - tan ( \frac{2 π}{3} ) tan ( \frac{π}{4} )}

Rewrite using trig identities:

tan (\frac{2 π}{3}) = - 3

tan (\frac{2 π}{3})

Rewrite using trig identities:

\frac{sin ( \frac{2 π}{3} )}{cos ( \frac{2 π}{3} )}

tan (\frac{2 π}{3})

Use the basic trigonometric identity:

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

= \frac{sin ( \frac{2 π}{3} )}{cos ( \frac{2 π}{3} )}

= \frac{sin ( \frac{2 π}{3} )}{cos ( \frac{2 π}{3} )}

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{2 π}{3}) = \frac{3}{2}

sin (\frac{2 π}{3})
