keystrokes I used on my SHARP scientific calculator

I assume your units are degrees, so make sure your calc is set to DEG

you should get 2
sorry about the double-post

proof of above:

tan200(cot10-tan10)
= tan20(1/tan10 - tan10) , 9since by CAST tan200 = tan200)
= tan20( 1 - tan^2 10)/tan10
= 2tan10/(1 - tan^2 10) * ( 1 - tan^2 10)/tan10
= 2
