Answer

$\dfrac{3 \sqrt 2}{2} - \dfrac{ 4\sqrt 3}{3}$

Work Step by Step

We know these trigonometric values $\sin 45^{\circ}=\sin \dfrac{\pi}{4} =\dfrac{ \sqrt 2}{2}$ and $\tan \dfrac{\pi}{6}=\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{3}$ We evaluate the given expression to obtain: $3 \sin 45^{\circ}-4 \tan \dfrac{\pi}{6} =3 \sin \dfrac{\pi}{4}-4 \tan \dfrac{\pi}{6}$ or, $=\dfrac{3 \sqrt 2}{2} - \dfrac{ 4\sqrt 3}{3}$
