Check this thread out: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=8997 Correct me if I am wrong but your question simplifies down to: [tex]\text{If} \, \alpha_1 \in \mathbb{Q} \, \, \, \text{does} \, \exists \, \alpha_2 \in \mathbb{Q}[/tex] Such that: [tex]\tan \left( \alpha_1 \right) + \tan \left( \alpha_2 \right) = \frac{\pi}{3}[/tex] I'd guess not but to be honest I have no idea. Oh and I think the question is wrong otherwise you could always let k=0. Last edited: Mar 20, 2005

I don't know of any "special" identities involving the arctangent of multiples of pi. The term in pi looks more suited to be the argument of the tangent function.
