If cos2∝ + cos2ß = 2, then the value of tan5∝ + tan5ß is?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
cos2∝ + cos2ß = 2
⇒ 1 - sin2∝ + 1 - sin2ß = 2
⇒ sin2∝ + sin2ß = 0
⇒ sin2∝ = 0 & sin2ß = 0 ( because two positive terms give sum zero; when both are zero)
⇒ ∝ = ß = 0
⇒ tan∝ = tanß = 0
∴ tan5∝ + tan2ß = 0
