The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given equation: \[ ab(x^2 + 1) = c^2 x \] This can be rearranged into the standard form of a quadratic equation: \[ ab x^2 - c^2 x + ab = 0 \] Here, we recognize that the roots of this quadratic equation are \( \tan A \) and \( \tan B \). ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients From the quadratic equation \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \), we can identify: - \( a = ab \) - \( b = -c^2 \) - \( c = ab \) ### Step 2: Use the relationship of roots The sum and product of the roots of a quadratic equation \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \) are given by: - Sum of roots \( \tan A + \tan B = -\frac{b}{a} \) - Product of roots \( \tan A \tan B = \frac{c}{a} \) Substituting the identified coefficients: - Sum of roots: \[ \tan A + \tan B = -\frac{-c^2}{ab} = \frac{c^2}{ab} \] - Product of roots: \[ \tan A \tan B = \frac{ab}{ab} = 1 \] ### Step 3: Use the tangent addition formula From the tangent addition formula, we know: \[ \tan(A + B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B} \] Substituting the values we found: \[ \tan(A + B) = \frac{\frac{c^2}{ab}}{1 - 1} = \text{undefined} \] This indicates that \( A + B = \frac{\pi}{2} \). ### Step 4: Find angle C Since \( A + B + C = \pi \) in triangle ABC, we can find angle C: \[ C = \pi - (A + B) = \pi - \frac{\pi}{2} = \frac{\pi}{2} \] ### Step 5: Use the Pythagorean theorem In a right triangle (since \( C = \frac{\pi}{2} \)), we have: \[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \] ### Conclusion Thus, we conclude that in triangle ABC, if \( \tan A \) and \( \tan B \) are the roots of the given equation, then angle C must be \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) and the relationship between the sides is given by: \[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \]
