![tan (α−β) =((tan α −tan β)/(1+tan α tan β)) Use α=18° and β=15°. The only problem is to factorize it... I get tan 3° =(((−7+2(√(15))−3(√5)+4(√3))(√(5−2(√5)))+(4−(√(15))+2(√5)−3(√3)))/2)](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q209796.png)
$$\mathrm{tan}\:\left(\alpha−\beta\right)\:=\frac{\mathrm{tan}\:\alpha\:−\mathrm{tan}\:\beta}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{tan}\:\alpha\:\mathrm{tan}\:\beta} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Use}\:\alpha=\mathrm{18}°\:\mathrm{and}\:\beta=\mathrm{15}°.\:\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{only}\:\mathrm{problem}\:\mathrm{is} \\ $$$$\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{factorize}\:\mathrm{it}… \\ $$$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{get} \\ $$$$\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{3}°\:=\frac{\left(−\mathrm{7}+\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{15}}−\mathrm{3}\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}+\mathrm{4}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\right)\sqrt{\mathrm{5}−\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}+\left(\mathrm{4}−\sqrt{\mathrm{15}}+\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}−\mathrm{3}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\right)}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
