The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the quadratic equation whose roots are \( \tan A \) and \( \tan B \) in a right triangle \( \Delta ABC \) where \( \angle C = 90^\circ \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Triangle and Angles**: In triangle \( ABC \), since \( \angle C = 90^\circ \), we can denote the sides opposite to angles \( A \) and \( B \) as follows: - Let \( a \) be the length of side \( BC \) (opposite angle \( A \)). - Let \( b \) be the length of side \( AC \) (opposite angle \( B \)). - Let \( c \) be the length of side \( AB \) (the hypotenuse). 2. **Express \( \tan A \) and \( \tan B \)**: Using the definitions of tangent in a right triangle: - \( \tan A = \frac{a}{b} \) - \( \tan B = \frac{b}{a} \) 3. **Identify the Roots**: Let \( \alpha = \tan A = \frac{a}{b} \) and \( \beta = \tan B = \frac{b}{a} \). 4. **Calculate \( \alpha + \beta \)**: \[ \alpha + \beta = \frac{a}{b} + \frac{b}{a} \] To combine these fractions, find a common denominator: \[ \alpha + \beta = \frac{a^2 + b^2}{ab} \] 5. **Use Pythagorean Theorem**: In a right triangle, we know: \[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \] Therefore: \[ \alpha + \beta = \frac{c^2}{ab} \] 6. **Calculate \( \alpha \cdot \beta \)**: \[ \alpha \cdot \beta = \tan A \cdot \tan B = \frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{b}{a} = 1 \] 7. **Form the Quadratic Equation**: The quadratic equation with roots \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) can be expressed as: \[ x^2 - (\alpha + \beta)x + (\alpha \cdot \beta) = 0 \] Substituting the values we found: \[ x^2 - \left(\frac{c^2}{ab}\right)x + 1 = 0 \] 8. **Multiply by \( ab \)**: To eliminate the fraction, multiply the entire equation by \( ab \): \[ abx^2 - c^2x + ab = 0 \] ### Final Quadratic Equation: The quadratic equation whose roots are \( \tan A \) and \( \tan B \) is: \[ abx^2 - c^2x + ab = 0 \]
