Problem

Carry out the following exact evaluations, writing each answer in simplest rationalised radical form. (a) For θ=30∘\theta = 30^{\circ}, find tan⁡θ,  sec⁡θ\tan\theta,\;\sec\theta and csc⁡θ\csc\theta. (b) For θ=π4\theta = \dfrac{\pi}{4}, write the coordinate pair (cos⁡θ,sin⁡θ)(\cos\theta,\sin\theta) and hence evaluate the expression E=2sin⁡θ+3 cos⁡θE = 2\sin\theta + \sqrt{3}\,\cos\theta. (c) For θ=60∘\theta = 60^{\circ}, compute cot⁡θ+tan⁡θ\cot\theta + \tan\theta and simplify the result.
