The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \tan(90^\circ - \theta) \) given that \( \tan \theta = 2 - \sqrt{3} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Use the Co-Function Identity**: We know that: \[ \tan(90^\circ - \theta) = \cot \theta \] 2. **Find the Value of \( \cot \theta \)**: The cotangent is the reciprocal of the tangent: \[ \cot \theta = \frac{1}{\tan \theta} \] Given \( \tan \theta = 2 - \sqrt{3} \), we can substitute this into the equation: \[ \cot \theta = \frac{1}{2 - \sqrt{3}} \] 3. **Rationalize the Denominator**: To simplify \( \frac{1}{2 - \sqrt{3}} \), we multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is \( 2 + \sqrt{3} \): \[ \cot \theta = \frac{1 \cdot (2 + \sqrt{3})}{(2 - \sqrt{3})(2 + \sqrt{3})} \] 4. **Calculate the Denominator**: Using the difference of squares: \[ (2 - \sqrt{3})(2 + \sqrt{3}) = 2^2 - (\sqrt{3})^2 = 4 - 3 = 1 \] 5. **Final Expression**: Thus, we have: \[ \cot \theta = 2 + \sqrt{3} \] 6. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the value of \( \tan(90^\circ - \theta) \) is: \[ \tan(90^\circ - \theta) = 2 + \sqrt{3} \] ### Final Answer: \[ \tan(90^\circ - \theta) = 2 + \sqrt{3} \]
