Answer:
Part I: cot(15 degrees) = cot(45 - 30)
Part II: Evaluation is below
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Everything is done in degrees</em>

Two angles that differ by 15 degrees that is easy to evaluate is 30 degrees and 45 degrees. The cot(15 degrees) = cot(45 - 30) = 1/tan(45-30) = (1+tan45tan30)/(tan30 - tan45) = (1+ sqrt(3))/(sqrt(3) - 1)
We rationalize this by multiplying 1+ sqrt(3) in the top and bottom, getting:
(4 + 2sqrt(3))/2 = 2 + sqrt(3)
I hope this helps! :)

Well, you first have to make the mixed fraction into an improper fraction. You then multiply the two fractions and ad the whole number into the total.
That's how i was taught back in the 4th grade... i'm not sure if it's correct but i hope it is-
Can you elaborate on ur question
