Solution
tan(-225°) = -(tan 225°)
= -(tan(180° + 45°))
= – tan 45°
= – 1
cot(-405°) = -(cot 405°)
= – cot(360° + 45°) ....[∵ For 360° + 45° no change in T-ratio.]
= -cot 45°
= -1
tan(-765°) = -tan 765°
= -tan(2 × 360° + 45°)
= -tan 45°
= -1
cot 675° = cot (360°+ 315°)
= cot 315°
= cot(360° – 45°)
= -cot 45°
= -1
LHS = tan(-225°) cot(-405°) – tan(-765°) cot(675°)
= (-1) (-1) – (-1) (-1)
= 1 – 1
= 0
= RHS.
Hence proved.
