myininaya (myininaya):

hey are you still here?

myininaya (myininaya):

So we have the following equations: \[\cot^2(\frac{\pi}{6})-b \cot(\frac{\pi}{6})+c=0 \\ \cot^2(\frac{\pi}{4})- b \cot(\frac{\pi}{4})+c=0 \\ \cot^2(\frac{7 \pi}{6})-b \cot(\frac{7 \pi }{6})+c=0 \\ \cot^2(\frac{5\pi}{4})-b \cot(\frac{5\pi}{4})+c=0\] I'm pretty sure this is more equations than we need but whatever let's just look at the first two equations

myininaya (myininaya):

you need to first evaluate cot(pi/6) or cot(pi/4)

myininaya (myininaya):

i mean both

myininaya (myininaya):

you will have a system of equations to solve

myininaya (myininaya):

\[(\sqrt{3})^2-b(\sqrt{3})+c=0 \\ 1-b+c=0\]
