$\tan (\arccos (\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}))$

Step 1

Multiply $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{3}}$

Step 2

Raise $\sqrt{3}$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^{1} \sqrt{3}}$

Step 3

Raise $\sqrt{3}$ to the power of $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^{1} {\sqrt{3}}^{1}}$

Step 4

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^{1 + 1}}$

Step 5

Add $1$ and $1$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{{\sqrt{3}}^{2}}$

Step 6

Rewrite ${\sqrt{3}}^{2}$ as $3$ .

Step 6.1

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{3}$ as $3^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{{(3^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}}$

Step 6.2

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}}$

Step 6.3

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3^{\frac{2}{2}}}$

Step 6.4

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .
