The correct Answer is:
To find the value of the product \( \tan 1^\circ \tan 2^\circ \tan 3^\circ \ldots \tan 45^\circ \ldots \tan 88^\circ \tan 89^\circ \), we can use the property of the tangent function and its relationship with cotangent. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Product**: The product can be expressed as: \[ P = \tan 1^\circ \tan 2^\circ \tan 3^\circ \ldots \tan 45^\circ \ldots \tan 88^\circ \tan 89^\circ \] 2. **Pairing Terms**: Notice that \( \tan(90^\circ - x) = \cot x \). Therefore, we can pair the terms: \[ \tan 1^\circ \tan 89^\circ, \tan 2^\circ \tan 88^\circ, \tan 3^\circ \tan 87^\circ, \ldots, \tan 44^\circ \tan 46^\circ \] and we have \( \tan 45^\circ \) in the middle. 3. **Using the Cotangent Identity**: Each pair can be rewritten using the cotangent identity: \[ \tan x \tan(90^\circ - x) = \tan x \cot x = 1 \] Thus, we can express the product as: \[ P = (\tan 1^\circ \tan 89^\circ) \times (\tan 2^\circ \tan 88^\circ) \times \ldots \times (\tan 44^\circ \tan 46^\circ) \times \tan 45^\circ \] 4. **Calculating the Number of Pairs**: There are 44 pairs from \( \tan 1^\circ \tan 89^\circ \) to \( \tan 44^\circ \tan 46^\circ \) and one middle term \( \tan 45^\circ \): \[ P = 1 \times 1 \times \ldots \times 1 \times 1 = 1 \] (since each pair contributes a product of 1). 5. **Final Calculation**: Since \( \tan 45^\circ = 1 \): \[ P = 1 \times 1 = 1 \] ### Conclusion: The value of \( \tan 1^\circ \tan 2^\circ \tan 3^\circ \ldots \tan 45^\circ \ldots \tan 88^\circ \tan 89^\circ \) is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
