The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( \tan A \), \( \tan B \), and \( \tan C \) given that: 1. \( \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = 6 \) 2. \( \tan A \tan B = 2 \) ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Use the identity for the sum of tangents in a triangle.** In a triangle, we have the identity: \[ \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = \tan A \tan B \tan C \] Given that \( \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = 6 \), we can express \( \tan C \) in terms of \( \tan A \) and \( \tan B \): \[ \tan C = 6 - \tan A - \tan B \] **Step 2: Substitute \( \tan C \) into the product identity.** From the product identity, we know: \[ \tan A \tan B = 2 \] Now substituting \( \tan C \) into the identity: \[ \tan A \tan B (6 - \tan A - \tan B) = 2 \] Substituting \( \tan A \tan B = 2 \): \[ 2(6 - \tan A - \tan B) = 2 \] Dividing both sides by 2: \[ 6 - \tan A - \tan B = 1 \] Rearranging gives: \[ \tan A + \tan B = 5 \] **Step 3: Set up a system of equations.** Now we have two equations: 1. \( \tan A + \tan B = 5 \) 2. \( \tan A \tan B = 2 \) Let \( \tan A = x \) and \( \tan B = y \). Then we can rewrite the equations as: 1. \( x + y = 5 \) 2. \( xy = 2 \) **Step 4: Solve the system of equations.** From the first equation, we can express \( y \) in terms of \( x \): \[ y = 5 - x \] Substituting this into the second equation: \[ x(5 - x) = 2 \] Expanding gives: \[ 5x - x^2 = 2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 - 5x + 2 = 0 \] **Step 5: Use the quadratic formula to find \( x \).** Using the quadratic formula \( x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \): \[ x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 2}}{2 \cdot 1} \] Calculating the discriminant: \[ x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 8}}{2} \] \[ x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{17}}{2} \] **Step 6: Find \( y \) values.** Substituting back to find \( y \): \[ y = 5 - x = 5 - \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{17}}{2} = \frac{5 \mp \sqrt{17}}{2} \] **Step 7: Calculate \( \tan C \).** Now we can find \( \tan C \): \[ \tan C = 6 - (x + y) = 6 - 5 = 1 \] **Final Values:** Thus, the values are: - \( \tan A = \frac{5 + \sqrt{17}}{2} \) - \( \tan B = \frac{5 - \sqrt{17}}{2} \) - \( \tan C = 1 \)

To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( \tan A \), \( \tan B \), and \( \tan C \) given that: 1. \( \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = 6 \) 2. \( \tan A \tan B = 2 \) ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Use the identity for the sum of tangents in a triangle.** ...
