Expert Solution
Step 1

Concept used:

Trigonometric reduction formula:

tan270°+α=-cot α

sin360°-α=-sin α

(a)

Calculation:

The function tan 285° can be expressed as the acute angle function by using trigonometric reduction formula,

tan 285°=tan270°+15°=-cot 15°

Thus, the function tan 285° in the acute angle function is -cot 15°.
