Answer

$3-\dfrac{3\sqrt 3}{2}$

Work Step by Step

We know that: $\csc x=\dfrac{1}{\sin x}$ We also know that the trigonometric functions have the values $\cos \dfrac{\pi}{6} =\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2} ; \tan \dfrac{\pi}{4}=1; \sin \dfrac{\pi}{6}=\dfrac{1}{2}$ We evaluate the given expression to obtain: $ \tan ( \dfrac{\pi}{4}) -3 \cos (\dfrac{\pi}{6})+\csc (\dfrac{\pi}{6})=1-3 \times (\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2})+2$ or, $=1-\dfrac{3 \sqrt 3}{2}+2$ or, $=3-\dfrac{3\sqrt 3}{2}$
