The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \tan \alpha + \tan \beta \) given the vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) with an angle \( \theta \) between them. The angles \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) are formed by the vectors \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} \) and \( \vec{A} - \vec{B} \) with respect to \( \vec{A} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Angles**: - The angle \( \alpha \) is the angle between \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} \). - The angle \( \beta \) is the angle between \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{A} - \vec{B} \). 2. **Using the Definition of Tangent**: - For the angle \( \alpha \): \[ \tan \alpha = \frac{|\vec{B}| \sin \theta}{|\vec{A}| + |\vec{B}| \cos \theta} \] - For the angle \( \beta \): \[ \tan \beta = \frac{|\vec{B}| \sin \theta}{|\vec{A}| - |\vec{B}| \cos \theta} \] 3. **Adding the Two Tangents**: - Now we need to find \( \tan \alpha + \tan \beta \): \[ \tan \alpha + \tan \beta = \frac{|\vec{B}| \sin \theta}{|\vec{A}| + |\vec{B}| \cos \theta} + \frac{|\vec{B}| \sin \theta}{|\vec{A}| - |\vec{B}| \cos \theta} \] 4. **Finding a Common Denominator**: - The common denominator for the two fractions is: \[ (|\vec{A}| + |\vec{B}| \cos \theta)(|\vec{A}| - |\vec{B}| \cos \theta) \] - This can be simplified using the difference of squares: \[ |\vec{A}|^2 - |\vec{B}|^2 \cos^2 \theta \] 5. **Combining the Numerators**: - The numerator becomes: \[ |\vec{B}| \sin \theta (|\vec{A}| - |\vec{B}| \cos \theta + |\vec{A}| + |\vec{B}| \cos \theta) = |\vec{B}| \sin \theta (2 |\vec{A}|) \] 6. **Final Expression**: - Thus, we have: \[ \tan \alpha + \tan \beta = \frac{2 |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \sin \theta}{|\vec{A}|^2 - |\vec{B}|^2 \cos^2 \theta} \] ### Conclusion: The final result for \( \tan \alpha + \tan \beta \) is: \[ \tan \alpha + \tan \beta = \frac{2 |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \sin \theta}{|\vec{A}|^2 - |\vec{B}|^2 \cos^2 \theta} \]
