Hint: Use the identity \[\Large \tan(A+B) = \frac{\tan(A)+\tan(B)}{1-\tan(A)\tan(B)}\] btw, I'm looking up identities here: http://www.sosmath.com/trig/Trig5/trig5/trig5.html

still have my sheet handy? http://learnix.net/ultimate-trig-cheat-sheet/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the above angle sum formula is exactly what you need?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well I just the second step as shown in the image attached. @agentc0re

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*I just need

@jim_thompson5910 Thank you for the link!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

You're welcome Compare the identity \[\Large \tan(A+B) = \frac{\tan(A)+\tan(B)}{1-\tan(A)\tan(B)}\] with \[\Large \frac{\tan(24)+\tan(21)}{1-\tan(24)\tan(21)}\] So we can see A = 24 and B = 21. I'm sure you know what to do from here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well you find the value from the first step.. That value is Equal to 1 divided by the first step. make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So a.?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if you type choice A into a calculator, and you compare that with what you get when you type in the original expression into a calculator, you'll see that the two are NOT the same

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh wait, in this special case, they are the same...oh well, nvm that last comment But in general, they won't be

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ex: if it were 24 and 22, then it would be different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c.!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They match!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you nailed it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great job! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AWESOME! Thanks!
