tan(A - B) = [tan(A) - tan(B)]/[1 + tan(A)tan(B)].
Thus:
tan(13π/12)
= tan(4π/3 - π/4), from the hint
= [tan(4π/3) - tan(π/4)]/[1 + tan(4π/3)tan(π/4)], from the above formula
= (-1 + √3)/(1 + √3)
= -(1 - √3)/(1 + √3)
= -(1 - √3)^2/[(1 + √3)(1 - √3)], by rationalizing
= -(1 - √3)^2/(1 - 3), via difference of squares
= (1/2)(1 - √3)^2
= (1/2)(1 - 2√3 + 3)
= (1/2)(4 - 2√3)
= 2 - √3.
