1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the value of tan(2π3)\tan(\frac{2\pi}{3}).
And the second problem asks to simplify 2tan(π12)1tan2(π12)\frac{2\tan(\frac{\pi}{12})}{1-\tan^2(\frac{\pi}{12})}.

2. Solution Steps

First, let's evaluate tan(2π3)\tan(\frac{2\pi}{3}). We know that 2π3\frac{2\pi}{3} is in the second quadrant.
We can write 2π3\frac{2\pi}{3} as ππ3\pi - \frac{\pi}{3}.
The tangent function is negative in the second quadrant.
tan(2π3)=tan(ππ3)=tan(π3)=3\tan(\frac{2\pi}{3}) = \tan(\pi - \frac{\pi}{3}) = -\tan(\frac{\pi}{3}) = -\sqrt{3}.
Next, let's simplify 2tan(π12)1tan2(π12)\frac{2\tan(\frac{\pi}{12})}{1-\tan^2(\frac{\pi}{12})}.
Recall the double angle formula for tangent:
tan(2x)=2tan(x)1tan2(x)\tan(2x) = \frac{2\tan(x)}{1 - \tan^2(x)}.
Using this formula, we can simplify the given expression:
2tan(π12)1tan2(π12)=tan(2π12)=tan(π6)\frac{2\tan(\frac{\pi}{12})}{1-\tan^2(\frac{\pi}{12})} = \tan(2 \cdot \frac{\pi}{12}) = \tan(\frac{\pi}{6}).
We know that tan(π6)=13\tan(\frac{\pi}{6}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.

3. Final Answer

The value of tan(2π3)\tan(\frac{2\pi}{3}) is 3-\sqrt{3}.
The simplified form of 2tan(π12)1tan2(π12)\frac{2\tan(\frac{\pi}{12})}{1-\tan^2(\frac{\pi}{12})} is 13\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}.
