1. Problem Description

We are asked to simplify the expression 2tan60+cos30sin60\frac{2 \tan 60^{\circ} + \cos 30^{\circ}}{\sin 60^{\circ}} without using mathematical tables or calculators.

2. Solution Steps

First, we need to recall the values of tan60\tan 60^{\circ}, cos30\cos 30^{\circ}, and sin60\sin 60^{\circ}.
tan60=3\tan 60^{\circ} = \sqrt{3}
cos30=32\cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
sin60=32\sin 60^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
Now, we substitute these values into the expression:
2tan60+cos30sin60=2(3)+3232\frac{2 \tan 60^{\circ} + \cos 30^{\circ}}{\sin 60^{\circ}} = \frac{2(\sqrt{3}) + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}
We can simplify the numerator:
23+32=432+32=5322\sqrt{3} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{4\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2}
Now, we substitute this back into the expression:
53232\frac{\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}
To divide fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal:
53223=53223=10323\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{5\sqrt{3} \cdot 2}{2 \cdot \sqrt{3}} = \frac{10\sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3}}
The 3\sqrt{3} terms cancel out, and the 22s cancel out as well, leaving us with:
102=5\frac{10}{2} = 5
