Answer

$\cot \frac{-3\pi}{4}=1$

Work Step by Step

We are given $\cot \frac{-3\pi}{4}$ $\cot(\frac{-3\pi}{4}+\pi)=\cot(\frac{\pi}{4})$ convert $\frac{\pi}{4}$ radians to degrees $\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{\pi}{4}(\frac{180^\circ}{\pi})$ $\frac{\pi}{4}=45^\circ$ $\cot \frac{-3\pi}{4}=\cot 45^\circ$ $\cot 45^\circ=1$ so $\cot \frac{-3\pi}{4}=1$
