The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the expression for \( \tan \alpha + \tan \beta \) given the vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) and the angles \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) they subtend with \( \vec{A} \). ### Step 1: Understand the Geometry We have two vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) that form an angle \( \theta \) between them. We need to visualize the vectors \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} \) and \( \vec{A} - \vec{B} \). ### Step 2: Draw the Vectors - Draw vector \( \vec{A} \) horizontally. - Draw vector \( \vec{B} \) at an angle \( \theta \) from \( \vec{A} \). - The resultant vector \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} \) can be represented as the diagonal of the parallelogram formed by \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \). - The vector \( \vec{A} - \vec{B} \) can be represented similarly. ### Step 3: Find \( \tan \alpha \) In the triangle formed by \( \vec{A} \), \( \vec{B} \), and \( \vec{A} + \vec{B} \): - The height (perpendicular) from the tip of \( \vec{B} \) to the line of \( \vec{A} \) is \( B \sin \theta \). - The base (horizontal component) is \( A + B \cos \theta \). Thus, \[ \tan \alpha = \frac{B \sin \theta}{A + B \cos \theta} \] ### Step 4: Find \( \tan \beta \) In the triangle formed by \( \vec{A} \), \( -\vec{B} \), and \( \vec{A} - \vec{B} \): - The height (perpendicular) from the tip of \( -\vec{B} \) to the line of \( \vec{A} \) is again \( B \sin \theta \). - The base (horizontal component) is \( A - B \cos \theta \). Thus, \[ \tan \beta = \frac{B \sin \theta}{A - B \cos \theta} \] ### Step 5: Combine \( \tan \alpha \) and \( \tan \beta \) Now, we need to find \( \tan \alpha + \tan \beta \): \[ \tan \alpha + \tan \beta = \frac{B \sin \theta}{A + B \cos \theta} + \frac{B \sin \theta}{A - B \cos \theta} \] ### Step 6: Find a Common Denominator The common denominator for the two fractions is: \[ (A + B \cos \theta)(A - B \cos \theta) = A^2 - B^2 \cos^2 \theta \] Thus, \[ \tan \alpha + \tan \beta = \frac{B \sin \theta (A - B \cos \theta) + B \sin \theta (A + B \cos \theta)}{A^2 - B^2 \cos^2 \theta} \] ### Step 7: Simplify the Numerator The numerator simplifies to: \[ B \sin \theta (A - B \cos \theta + A + B \cos \theta) = 2AB \sin \theta \] ### Final Result Thus, we have: \[ \tan \alpha + \tan \beta = \frac{2AB \sin \theta}{A^2 - B^2 \cos^2 \theta} \] ### Summary The final expression for \( \tan \alpha + \tan \beta \) is: \[ \tan \alpha + \tan \beta = \frac{2AB \sin \theta}{A^2 - B^2 \cos^2 \theta} \]
