The correct Answer is:
To determine if there can exist triangles \( ABC \) satisfying the relation \( \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = 0 \), we can analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Angles of a Triangle**: In any triangle, the sum of the angles is always \( 180^\circ \). Therefore, we have: \[ A + B + C = 180^\circ \] 2. **Rearranging the Angles**: We can express \( A + B \) in terms of \( C \): \[ A + B = 180^\circ - C \] 3. **Using the Tangent Addition Formula**: We can apply the tangent addition formula to \( \tan(A + B) \): \[ \tan(A + B) = \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B} \] Substituting \( A + B = 180^\circ - C \) gives: \[ \tan(180^\circ - C) = -\tan C \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{\tan A + \tan B}{1 - \tan A \tan B} = -\tan C \] 4. **Setting Up the Equation**: From the above, we can rewrite the equation: \[ \tan A + \tan B = -\tan C (1 - \tan A \tan B) \] 5. **Substituting into the Given Condition**: Now, we substitute \( \tan A + \tan B \) into the original condition: \[ \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = 0 \] This implies: \[ \tan A + \tan B = -\tan C \] 6. **Combining the Results**: From our previous steps, we can see that: \[ -\tan C = -\tan C (1 - \tan A \tan B) \] This leads to: \[ -\tan C = -\tan C + \tan C \tan A \tan B \] Simplifying this gives: \[ 0 = \tan C \tan A \tan B \] 7. **Conclusion**: The equation \( 0 = \tan C \tan A \tan B \) implies that at least one of the tangents must be zero. This means at least one of the angles \( A, B, \) or \( C \) must be \( 0^\circ \) or \( 180^\circ \), which is not possible in a triangle. Therefore, no triangle can satisfy the condition \( \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = 0 \). ### Final Answer: **No, there cannot exist triangles ABC satisfying the relation \( \tan A + \tan B + \tan C = 0 \).**
