Question

(i) If A + B = 45o, prove that (cotA1)(cotB1)=2 and hence deduce that cot2212o=2+1.
(ii) If tan(AB)=724 and tanA=43 where A and B are acute, show that A + B = π2

Solution

(i) cot(A+B)=cotA.cotB1cotA+cotB
and A+B=45
=> cotA.cotB1=cotA+cotB
=> cotA.cotBcotAcotB1+2=2
=> (cotA1)(cotB1)=2

If A=B=π8, and cotπ8=x

=>(x1)(x1)=2
=>x22x1=0
=> x=2+1

(ii) tan(AB)=tanAtanB1+tanA.tanB
=>724=43tanB1+43tanB
=> simplifying, we get tanB=34

Now, tan(A+B)=tanA+tanB1tanA.tanB

1tanA.tanB=143.34=0
=>A+B=π2
