Answer:

-√3

Explanation:

We note that this matches the form for the tangent of the difference of two angles:

tan(α-β) = (tan(α) -tan(β))/(1 +tan(α)tan(βb))

Here, we have α = 25π/24 and β = 3π/8. Then the angle difference is ...

α -β = π(25/24 -3/8) = π(2/3)

The value you seek is ...

tan(2π/3) = -√3
