Question

If a cos 2θ+b sin 2θ=c has α and β as its roots, that prove that

(i) tan α+tan β=2ba+c

(ii) tan α tan β=cac+a

(iii) tan (α+β)=ba

Solution

cos 2θ=1tan2 θ1+tan2 θsin 2θ=2 tan θ1+tan2 θ

substitute these values in the given equation, it reduces to a(1tan2θ)+b(2 tanθ)=c(1+tan2θ)

(c+a) tan2 θ+2b tan θ+ca=0

As α and β are roots

sum of the roots, tan α+tan β=2bc+a

Product of roots, tan α tan β=cac+a

tan(α+β)=tan α+tan β1tan α tan β=2bc+ac+a=ba
