Question
Show that tan 7° × tan 23° × tan 60° × tan 67° × tan 83° = `sqrt(3)`
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S = tan 7° × tan 23° × tan 60° × tan 67° × tan 83°
= tan 7° × tan 23° × `sqrt(3)` × tan(90° – 23°) × tan(90° – 7°)
= `sqrt(3)` × [tan 7° × tan(90° – 7°)] × [tan 23° × tan(90° – 23°)]
= `sqrt(3) xx 1 xx 1` ......[∵ tan θ × tan(90° – θ) = 1]
= `sqrt(3)`
= R.H.S
∴ tan 7° × tan 23° × tan 60° × tan 67° × tan 83° = `sqrt(3)`

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)
