4cot^3(135)+7tan^4(150)-csc^2(240)

Solution

4 cot^{3} (13 5^{\circ}) + 7 tan^{4} (15 0^{\circ}) - csc^{2} (24 0^{\circ})

Solution

- \frac{41}{9}

Decimal

- 4.55555 \dots

Solution steps

4 cot^{3} (13 5^{\circ}) + 7 tan^{4} (15 0^{\circ}) - csc^{2} (24 0^{\circ})

Rewrite using trig identities:

csc^{2} (24 0^{\circ}) = 1 + cot^{2} (6 0^{\circ})

csc^{2} (24 0^{\circ})

Use the Pythagorean identity:

csc^{2} (x) = 1 + cot^{2} (x)

= 1 + cot^{2} (24 0^{\circ})

cot (24 0^{\circ}) = cot (6 0^{\circ})

cot (24 0^{\circ})

Rewrite

24 0^{\circ}

18 0^{\circ} + 6 0^{\circ}

= cot (18 0^{\circ} + 6 0^{\circ})

Apply the periodicity of

cot

cot (x + 18 0^{\circ}) = cot (x)

cot (18 0^{\circ} + 6 0^{\circ}) = cot (6 0^{\circ})

= cot (6 0^{\circ})

= 1 + cot^{2} (6 0^{\circ})

= 4 cot^{3} (13 5^{\circ}) + 7 tan^{4} (15 0^{\circ}) - (1 + cot^{2} (6 0^{\circ}))

Simplify

= 4 cot^{3} (13 5^{\circ}) + 7 tan^{4} (15 0^{\circ}) - 1 - cot^{2} (6 0^{\circ})

Use the following trivial identity:
