- 3.73205 \dots

Solution steps

tan (\frac{5 π}{6} + \frac{3 π}{4})

Simplify:

\frac{5 π}{6} + \frac{3 π}{4} = \frac{19 π}{12}

\frac{5 π}{6} + \frac{3 π}{4}

Least Common Multiplier of

6, 4 : 12

Least Common Multiplier (LCM)

Prime factorization of

6 : 2 \cdot 3

6

6

divides by

26 = 3 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 3

2, 3

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 3

Prime factorization of

4 : 2 \cdot 2

4

4

divides by

24 = 2 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 2

Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either

6

= 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 = 12

= 12

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

12

For

\frac{5 π}{6} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{5 π}{6} = \frac{5 π 2}{6 \cdot 2} = \frac{10 π}{12}

For

\frac{3 π}{4} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

3

\frac{3 π}{4} = \frac{3 π 3}{4 \cdot 3} = \frac{9 π}{12}

= \frac{10 π}{12} + \frac{9 π}{12}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{10 π + 9 π}{12}

Add similar elements:

10 π + 9 π = 19 π

= \frac{19 π}{12}

= tan (\frac{19 π}{12})

tan (\frac{19 π}{12}) = tan (\frac{7 π}{12})

tan (\frac{19 π}{12})

Rewrite

\frac{19 π}{12}

π + \frac{7 π}{12}

= tan (π + \frac{7 π}{12})

Apply the periodicity of

tan

tan (x + π) = tan (x)

tan (π + \frac{7 π}{12}) = tan (\frac{7 π}{12})

= tan (\frac{7 π}{12})

= tan (\frac{7 π}{12})

Rewrite using trig identities:

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

tan (\frac{7 π}{12})

Write

tan (\frac{7 π}{12})

tan (\frac{π}{3} + \frac{π}{4})

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

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

Use the following trivial identity:

tan (\frac{π}{3}) = 3
