this is yourquestion ifound itas before if this is notonly a slight changein answer therewhy i am giving question with answer
Trigonometry (mathematics): If x+y+z= π, tan x.tan y=18, tan y.tan z=2. What is tan y?
change is x,y,z areinterchanged
tan x=18/tan y.......(1)
Replace z=180-(x+Y) in the second equation and we ge
tan y.tan (180 - (x+y))=2
tan y.tan (x+y) = -2
tan y. (tan x + tan y)/1-tan x.tan y = -2
(tan y.tan x + tan^2 y)/(1-tan x.tan y) = -2
Let tan y = p
18 + p^2=-2(1-18)
p^2=34-18
p=+-4
Thus tan y = 4
tan ^2 y =16
assuming x,y,z are angles of a triangle
