Question
Prove the following identities:
`(tan"A"+tan"B")/(cot"A"+cot"B")=tan"A"tan"B"`
Advertisements
Solution
`(tan"A"+tan"B")/(cot"A"+cot"B")=tan"A"tan"B"`
= L.H.S.
=`(tan"A"+tan"B")/(cot"A"+cot"B")`
= `(tan"A"+tan"B")/(1/tanA+1/tanB`
= `(tan"A"+tan"B")/((tan"A"+tan"B")/(tan"A".tan"B"))`
= `((tan"A"+tan"B")(tan"A".tan"B"))/(tan"A"+tan"B")`
= tan A tan B
= R.H.S.
Hence, proved.
