Q. Evaluate. Write your answer in simplified, rationalized form. Do not round.\newlinecot30=\cot 30^\circ = ______
  1. Find values of cos(30°)\cos(30°): Find the values of cos(30°)\cos(30°) and sin(30°)\sin(30°). cos(30°)=3/2\cos(30°) = \sqrt{3}/2 and sin(30°)=1/2\sin(30°) = 1/2.
  2. Calculate cot(30°)\cot(30°): Calculate cot(30°)\cot(30°) using the definition cot(θ)=cos(θ)sin(θ)\cot(\theta) = \frac{\cos(\theta)}{\sin(\theta)}. So, cot(30°)=3/21/2\cot(30°) = \frac{\sqrt{3}/2}{1/2}.
  3. Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 22. This gives us cot(30°)=32×21=3\cot(30°) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \frac{2}{1} = \sqrt{3}.
