To simplify the expression \( \frac{3 \tan 315^{\circ} \sin 225^{\circ} \sin 120^{\circ}}{\cos 315^{\circ} \cos 210^{\circ}} \), we start by evaluating each trigonometric function: 1. **\( \tan 315^{\circ} \)**: - \( \tan 315^{\circ} = \tan(-45^{\circ}) = -1 \). 2. **\( \sin 225^{\circ} \)**: - \( \sin 225^{\circ} = \sin(180^{\circ} + 45^{\circ}) = -\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \). 3. **\( \sin 120^{\circ} \)**: - \( \sin 120^{\circ} = \sin(90^{\circ} + 30^{\circ}) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \). 4. **\( \cos 315^{\circ} \)**: - \( \cos 315^{\circ} = \cos(-45^{\circ}) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \). 5. **\( \cos 210^{\circ} \)**: - \( \cos 210^{\circ} = \cos(180^{\circ} + 30^{\circ}) = -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \). Now substitute these values into the expression: \[ \frac{3 \cdot (-1) \cdot \left(-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) \cdot \left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)}. \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{3 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}{\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) \cdot \left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)} = \frac{3 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{6}}{4}}{-\frac{\sqrt{6}}{4}}. \] The \(\frac{\sqrt{6}}{4}\) terms cancel out, leading to: \[ 3 \cdot (-1) = -3. \] Thus, the final result of the expression is: \[ \boxed{-3}. \]
