cos(67)/sin(23) – tan(40)/ cot(50) – cos(60)
As we know for some angle p in degrees,
cos(a) = sin(90 – a)
and
tan(a) = cot(90 – a),
This equation becomes,
2 . sin(90 – 67)/sin(23) – cot(90 – 40)/cot(50) – cos(60)
= 2 . sin(23)/sin(23) – cot(50)/cot(50) – cos(60)
2 . sin(23)/sin(23) cancel out to give us 2
and
cot(50)/cot(50) cancel and become 1
Thus we have,
2 – 1 – cos(60). ( cos(60) = ½ )
= 1 – ½
= ½
Thus the answer is ½
