Step 1.1

Apply the reference angle by finding the angle with equivalent trig values in the first quadrant.

$\sin (0) + \cos (π) + \tan (\frac{3 π}{4})$

Step 1.2

The exact value of $\sin (0)$ is $0$ .

$0 + \cos (π) + \tan (\frac{3 π}{4})$

Step 1.3

Apply the reference angle by finding the angle with equivalent trig values in the first quadrant. Make the expression negative because cosine is negative in the second quadrant.

$0 - \cos (0) + \tan (\frac{3 π}{4})$

Step 1.4

The exact value of $\cos (0)$ is $1$ .

$0 - 1 \cdot 1 + \tan (\frac{3 π}{4})$

Step 1.5

Multiply $- 1$ by $1$ .

$0 - 1 + \tan (\frac{3 π}{4})$

Step 1.6

Apply the reference angle by finding the angle with equivalent trig values in the first quadrant. Make the expression negative because tangent is negative in the second quadrant.

$0 - 1 - \tan (\frac{π}{4})$

Step 1.7

The exact value of $\tan (\frac{π}{4})$ is $1$ .

$0 - 1 - 1 \cdot 1$

Step 1.8

Multiply $- 1$ by $1$ .

$0 - 1 - 1$

Step 2

Simplify by subtracting numbers.
