Quadratic Formula

If tanα = 1...

Question

If $tan α = \frac{1}{2}, tan β = \frac{1}{3}$ , show that $α + β = π / 4$

Open in App

Solution

$tan α = \frac{1}{2}$
$tan β = \frac{1}{3}$
$tan (α + β) = \frac{tan α + tan β}{1 - tan α tan β}$
$= \frac{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3}}{1 - \frac{1}{6}}$
$tan (α + β) = \frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{5}{6}} = 1$
$∴ α + β = \frac{π}{4}$

tan α = m / (m + 1), tan β = 1 / (2 m + 1)

α + β = π / 4

tan α = \frac{m}{m + 1}

tan β = \frac{1}{2 m + 1}

then prove that

α + β = \frac{π}{4}

tan α - tan β = m

cot α - cot β = n

, then prove that

cot (α - β) = \frac{1}{m} - \frac{1}{n}

tan α = \frac{1}{7}

tan β = \frac{1}{\sqrt{10}}

α + 2 β = \frac{π}{a}

0 < α < \frac{π}{2}

0 < β < \frac{π}{2}
