Solution

tanx+cotx=2.....1squaring we get, tan2x+cot2x+2tanxcotx=4tan2x+cot2x+2=4tan2x+cot2x=2Now taking power 3 of equation 1 we gettan3x+cot3x+3tanxcotxtanx+cotx=8tan3x+cot3x+3×2=8tan3x+cot3x=2So in general we can say that , tannx+cotnx=2Now we know that, tan12x+cot12x2=tanx+cotx+2tan12x×cot12x=2+2=4So tan12x+cot12x=4=2
