Evaluate tan2π16+tan22π16+tan23π16+....+tan27π16.

Open in App
Solution

7π16=π2π16

6π16=π22π16

5π16=π23π16

4π16=π4

L.H.S=tan2π16+tan22pi16+tan23π16+tan24π16+tan25π16+tan26π16+tan27π16

=tan2π16+tan22pi16+tan23π16+tan2π4+tan2(π23π16)+tan2(π22π16)+tan2(π2π16)

=tan2π16+tan22pi16+tan23π16+tan2π4+cot23π16+cot22π16+cot2π16

=tan2π16+cot2π16+tan22π16+cot22π16+tan23π16+cot23π16+1

=(tanπ16+cotπ16)22tanπ16cotπ16+(tan2π16+cot2π16)22tan2π16cot2π16+(tan3π16+cot3π16)22tan3π16cot3π16+1

=5+8221+8+82(21)

=5+82(21)+82(21)

=35
