Question
Prove the following trigonometric identities.
`(tan A + tan B)/(cot A + cot B) = tan A tan B`
Advertisements
Solution
We have to prove `(tan A + tan B)/(cot A + cot B) = tan A tan B`
Now
`(tan A + tan B)/(cot A + cot B) = (tan A + tan B)/(1/tan A + 1/tanB)`
`= (tan A + tan B)/((tan B + tan A)/(tan A tan B))`
= tan A tan B
Hence proved.

If sec θ = `25/7`, find the value of tan θ.
Solution:
1 + tan2 θ = sec2 θ
∴ 1 + tan2 θ = `(25/7)^square`
∴ tan2 θ = `625/49 - square`
= `(625 - 49)/49`
= `square/49`
∴ tan θ = `square/7` ........(by taking square roots)
