Prove that:
tan(x-y)=tanx-tany1+tanxtany
STEP 1 : Solving the Left Hand Side (LHS) of the equation
Taking the LHS and solving we get,
⇒tan(x-y)
=sin(x-y)cos(x-y) ...(1)
We know that,
sin(x-y)=sinxcosy-cosxsiny and
cos(x-y)=cosxcosy+sinxsiny
Substituting the values of sin(x-y) and cos(x-y) in equation (1) we get,
=sinxcosy-cosxsinycosxcosy+sinxsiny
Divide numerator and denominator by cosxcosy
=sinxcosy-cosxsinycosxcosycosxcosy+sinxsinycosxcosy
=sinxcosycosxcosy-cosxsinycosxcosycosxcosycosxcosy+sinxsinycosxcosy
=tanx-tany1+tanxtany=RHS
i.e.tan(x-y)=tanx-tany1+tanxtany
Hence proved.
