Question

If tan(α+θ) =n tan(α-θ) show that : (n+1)sin 2θ =(n-1)sin2α

Open in App
Solution

From question we have

n = Tan(α+θ)/tan(α-θ)
or n = sin(α+θ)cos(α-θ)/cos(α+θ)sin(α-θ)
or (n+1)/(n-1)= {sin(α+θ)cos(α-θ)+cos(α+θ)sin(α-θ}/{sin(α+θ)cos(α-θ)-cos(α+θ)sin(α-θ}

or (n+1)/(n-1) = sin{(α+θ)+(α-θ)}/sin{(α+θ)-(α-θ)}
or (n+1)/(n-1) = sin2α/sin2θ
or (n+1)sin2θ=(n-1)sin2α proved
