The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to find the value of \((\tan A - \tan B) / (1 + \tan A \tan B)\) given that \(\sin A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\) and \(\cos B = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Angles A and B**: - Given \(\sin A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\), we know that this corresponds to \(A = 60^\circ\) (since \(\sin 60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)). - Given \(\cos B = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\), we know that this corresponds to \(B = 30^\circ\) (since \(\cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)). 2. **Calculate \(\tan A\) and \(\tan B\)**: - For \(A = 60^\circ\), \(\tan A = \tan 60^\circ = \sqrt{3}\). - For \(B = 30^\circ\), \(\tan B = \tan 30^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\). 3. **Substitute Values into the Expression**: - Now substitute the values of \(\tan A\) and \(\tan B\) into the expression: \[ \frac{\tan A - \tan B}{1 + \tan A \tan B} = \frac{\sqrt{3} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{1 + \sqrt{3} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}} \] 4. **Simplify the Denominator**: - The denominator simplifies as follows: \[ 1 + \sqrt{3} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = 1 + 1 = 2 \] 5. **Simplify the Numerator**: - The numerator simplifies as follows: \[ \sqrt{3} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{3}} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{3 - 1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \] 6. **Combine the Results**: - Now substitute back into the expression: \[ \frac{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}}{2} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} \cdot 2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \] 7. **Rationalize the Denominator**: - To rationalize the denominator, multiply the numerator and denominator by \(\sqrt{3}\): \[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the final value is \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\).
