Question
Prove the following.
$(\sqrt{3}+1)(3-\cot30^\circ)=\tan^360^\circ-2\sin60^\circ$

Answer

RHS $=\tan^360^\circ-2\sin60^\circ=(\sqrt{3})^3-2\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=3\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}=2\sqrt{3}$
LHS $=(\sqrt{3}+1)(3-\cot30^\circ)=(\sqrt{3}+1)(3-\sqrt{3})$
$[\because\ \tan60^\circ=\sqrt{3}\sin60^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{ and }=(\sqrt{3}+1)\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{3}-1)\cot30^\circ=\sqrt{3}]$
$=(\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{3})^2-1)=\sqrt{3}(3-1)=2\sqrt{3}$
$\therefore$ LHS = RHS
Hence proved
