Meghna Shrivastava14 Years agoTaking L.H.S., cot(a+b)=1/tan(a+b) =1-tan(a)+tan(b)/tan(a)+tan(b) [Since,tan(a+b)=tan(a)+tan(b)/1-tan(a)tan(b)] Dividing by tan(a)tan(b) in num and deno,we have =cot(a)cot(b)-1/cot(a)+cot(b) =R.H.S. Hence Proved.
Kushagra Madhukar5 Years agoDear student,Please find the attached solution to your question. L.H.S = cot(a+b)=1/tan(a+b) =1 – tan(a) + tan(b) / tan(a) + tan(b) [ tan(a+b) = tan(a) + tan(b) / 1 – tan(a)tan(b)]Dividing by tan(a)tan(b) in num and deno,we have = cot(a)cot(b) – 1 / cot(a) + cot(b) = R.H.S.Hope it helps.Thanks and regards,Kushagra
