Question below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log \tan1 + \log \tan2 + \log \tan3 + ........ + logtan89\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get a intuition we should group them

mathslover (mathslover):

We can use this identity here : log (a) + log(b) + ... + log(n) log(ab...n)

mathslover (mathslover):

So, it will become : log(tan(1) * tan(2) ... tan(89) )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0?

mathslover (mathslover):

And then after tan (44) .. use this : \(\tan (\theta) = \cot (90 - \theta) \) RIGHT!

OpenStudy (studybird123):

I was gonna say all of that. but its ok

mathslover (mathslover):

0 is correct OpenStudier. Good work

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

answer is zero the series can be written as Log (tan(1)* tan(2) * .. * tan(89)) now tana=cot(90-a) so the series is now\ Log( tan(1)* tan(2)*...* tan(44)* tan(45)*...* tan(88)* tan(89)) now replace tana by cota Log( tan(1)* tan(2)*...* tan(44)* cot(44)*...* cot(2)* cot(1)) ===0

OpenStudy (studybird123):

You were indeed correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you all of you !!!

OpenStudy (studybird123):

Good Job openstudier

mathslover (mathslover):

You're always welcome but half the job was done by you! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan46 = tan(90-44) =cot 44 tan47 = tan(90-43) =cot 43 and so on hence tan1*tan2*.......................tan44*.tan45*tan46*tan47*.........................tan89 =tan1tan1*tan2*........................*tan44*tan45*cot44*.........................tan89 =tan1*cot1*tan2*cot2*....................................tan44*cot44*tan45 =1.. hence further...
