cot(3pi/4) can be written as cot(pi-pi/4) and acc. to the formula cot(pi-x)= -cot it should be -cot(pi/4)= -1 .

But when cot(3pi/4) is changed to cot(135)= cot(180-45) = cot 45 = 1


Sir i am confused which one is correct.Please help.

cot 3π4 = cotπ - π4 = - cotπ4 = - 1                              as, cotπ-θ = - cot θcot3π4 = cot 135° = cot180° - 45° = - cot 45° = -1    as, cot180°-θ = - cot θ

Cot 3pi/4 is also equal to -1 bcz cot is -ve in 2nd quad.
