Question #5df8b Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Proving Identities 1 Answer P dilip_k Dec 21, 2016 GIVEN # tan(A+B)/tan(A-B) = lamda# # =>(sin(A+B)cos(A-B))/(sin(A-B)cos(A+B)) = lamda# By dividendo and componendo # =>((sin(A+B)cos(A-B))-(sin(A-B)cos(A+B)))/((sin(A+B)cos(A-B))+(sin(A-B)cos(A+B))) = (lamda-1)/(lambda+1)# #=>(sin(A+B-A+B))/(sin(A+B+A-B))=(lambda-1)/(lambda+1)# #=>(sin(2B))/(sin(2A))=(lambda-1)/(lambda+1)# Proved Answer link Related questions What does it mean to prove a trigonometric identity?
