Find the Exact Value cot(1 degree )

Problem

cot(1)

Solution

1. Identify the expression as the cotangent of 1

2. Relate the angle to radians if necessary, where 1=π/180 radians.

3. Determine if the value can be expressed using basic radicals. Since 1 is not a multiple of 3 (the smallest integer degree for which values are typically expressed in nested radicals), the exact value is most simply represented using the cotangent function itself.

4. Express the value in terms of sine and cosine if an alternative exact form is required.

Final Answer

cot(1)=cot(1)
