cot(15)=1/tan(15)
Let us find tan(15)
tan(15)=tan(45-30)
tan(a-b) = (tan(a)-tan(b))/(1+tan(a)tan(b))
tan(45-30)= (tan(45)-tan(30))/(1+tan(45)tan(30))
substitute tan(45)=1 and tan(30)=1/√3 into the equation.
tan(45-30) = (1- 1/√3) / (1+1/√3)
=(√3-1)/(√3+1)
The exact value of cot(15) is the reciprocal of the above which is:
(√3+1) /(√3-1)

What is the exact trigonometric function value of cot 0?
There is no value cot 0, because cot 0 is equivalent to 1 / tan 0, which is equivalent to 1 / 0, which is undefined. That said, the limit of cot x as x approaches 0 is infinity.
Can a pair with the same x and y value be a function?
Yes; a line at 45 degrees.
What is the exact value of cos 70 degrees?
The exact value is an irrational number, and can't be written on paper with digits.0.34202 is less than 0.000042 percent wrong.Cos(70 deg) is an irrational number and it is impossible to give its exact value.
Using exact values find the numerical value of sin 30 degrees cos 240 degrees plus sin 210 degrees sin 300 degrees?
SQRT(3)/4 - 1/4
Can a function have a limit at every x-value in its domain?
Yes, that happens with any continuous function. The limit is equal to the function value in this case.Yes, that happens with any continuous function.
