Prove that tan225°cot405°+tan765°cot675°=0.
Determine the proving of the expressiontan225°cot405°+tan765°cot675°=0.
Solve L.H.S part:
tan225°cot405°+tan765°cot675°=tan(90°×2+45°)cot(90°×4+45°)+tan(90°×8+45°)cot(90°×7+45°)⇒=tan45°cot45°+tan45°[-tan45°]⇒=tan45°cot45°–tan45°tan45°∵cot45°=tan45°=1⇒=1×1–1×1⇒=1–1⇒=0
Hence, the L.H.S=R.H.S.
