To solve the equations you've provided, we need to work through both given relationships: \( 5 \sin(2\beta) = 3 \sin(2\alpha) \) and \( \tan(\beta) = 3 \tan(\alpha) \). We'll manipulate these equations step by step to find the desired sum \( \tan(\alpha) + \tan(\beta) \).
Step 1: Expressing Sine in Terms of Tangent
First, letβs recall the double angle identity for sine, which states that \( \sin(2\theta) = 2 \sin(\theta) \cos(\theta) \). We can apply this identity to both \( \sin(2\beta) \) and \( \sin(2\alpha) \).
Using the Identities
Step 2: Substituting into the First Equation
Now, substituting these identities into the first equation gives us:
\( 5(2 \sin(\beta) \cos(\beta)) = 3(2 \sin(\alpha) \cos(\alpha)) \)
Which simplifies to:
\( 10 \sin(\beta) \cos(\beta) = 6 \sin(\alpha) \cos(\alpha) \)
Step 3: Rearranging the Equation
If we divide both sides by 2, we have:
\( 5 \sin(\beta) \cos(\beta) = 3 \sin(\alpha) \cos(\alpha) \)
Step 4: Utilizing the Second Equation
From the second equation, we can express \( \tan(\beta) \) in terms of \( \tan(\alpha) \):
\( \tan(\beta) = 3 \tan(\alpha) \)
This implies:
\( \sin(\beta) = 3 \sin(\alpha) \) and \( \cos(\beta) = \frac{1}{3} \cos(\alpha) \)
Using these relationships, substitute \( \sin(\beta) \) and \( \cos(\beta) \) back into the rearranged sine equation.
Step 5: Substituting in Terms of Alpha
Substituting gives us:
\( 5(3 \sin(\alpha)) \left( \frac{1}{3} \cos(\alpha) \right) = 3 \sin(\alpha) \cos(\alpha) \)
This simplifies to:
\( 5 \sin(\alpha) \cos(\alpha) = 3 \sin(\alpha) \cos(\alpha) \)
Step 6: Solving for Values
Dividing both sides by \( \sin(\alpha) \cos(\alpha) \) (assuming \( \sin(\alpha) \cos(\alpha) \neq 0 \)), we arrive at:
\( 5 = 3 \)
Since this is a contradiction, we must find \( \tan(\alpha) + \tan(\beta) \) directly. From \( \tan(\beta) = 3 \tan(\alpha) \):
Let \( \tan(\alpha) = x \), thus \( \tan(\beta) = 3x \).
Now, we get:
\( \tan(\alpha) + \tan(\beta) = x + 3x = 4x \)
Final Calculation
Since we don't have a specific numerical value for \( x \) from the equations, but knowing the relationship gives us:
\( \tan(\alpha) + \tan(\beta) = 4 \tan(\alpha) \)
In conclusion, if we had specific values for \( \tan(\alpha) \), we could compute a numerical answer. Therefore, the final expression for \( \tan(\alpha) + \tan(\beta) \) is \( 4 \tan(\alpha) \).
