Simplify tan(1/( square root of 3))
Problem
Solution
Identify the expression as the tangent of a constant value, where the argument is
1/√(,3) Rationalize the denominator of the argument if necessary to recognize standard values, though
1/√(,3) is already a common form.Evaluate the numerical value of the argument. Since
√(,3)≈1.732 the argument is approximately0.577 radians.Determine if the expression can be simplified further into a standard constant. Unlike
arctan(1/√(,3)) which equalsπ/6 the expressiontan(1/√(,3)) does not result in a standard rational or radical constant.Conclude that the expression is already in its simplest exact radical form.
