The value of cot π 24 is:
Options
- A2 + 3 + 2 - 6
- B2 + 3 + 2 + 6
- C2 - 3 - 2 + 6
- D3 2 - 3 - 6
Correct answer
B. 2 + 3 + 2 + 6
Step-by-step solution
We know that cot θ = 1 + cos 2 θ sin 2 θ Since, θ = π 24 Therefore, cot θ = 1 + 3 + 1 2 2 3 - 1 2 2 ⇒ cot π 24 = 1 + 3 + 1 2 2 3 - 1 2 2 = 2 2 + 3 + 1 3 - 1 × 3 + 1 3 + 1 = 2 6 + 2 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 1 2 = 6 + 2 + 3 + 2 .
