A problem of tan45-cot15 tan45=1 cot15=tan75 The original formula = (tan45-tan75) / (1 + tan75) =(tan45-tan75)/(1+tan45tan75) =tan(45-75) =tan(-30) =-√3/3 How does the original formula = (tan45-tan75) / (1 + tan75) become the following one =(tan45-tan75)/(1+tan45tan75)

The molecules don't change,
In denominator
Tan75 becomes tan45tan75
Where tan45 = 1
So tan45tan75 equals tan75
So the equation holds!
