Question

If cosθ=cosue1ecosu, then show that tanθ2=±1+e1etan(u2).

Open in App
Solution

cosθ=cosue1ecosu

using trigonometric identities and simplifying

1tan2θ21+tan2θ2=1tan2u21+tan2u2e1e⎜ ⎜1tan2u21+tan2u2⎟ ⎟
1tan2θ21+tan2θ2=1tan2u2e(1+tan2u2)1+tan2u2e(1tan2u2)

Applying componendo and dividendo, we get

1tan2θ2+1+tan2θ21tan2θ21tan2θ2=1tan2u2e(1+tan2u2)+1+tan2u2e(1tan2u2)1tan2u2e(1+tan2u2)1tan2u2+e(1tan2u2)

tanθ2=±1+e1etanu2
