look up tan(A+B), tan(A-B) formulas

OpenStudy (lxelle):

I did, (tan 30 + tan x)/(1+ tan30tanx) = 2(tan60-tanx)/1-tan60tanx)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I would start the same.. looks good

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hey wait, double check the formula once

OpenStudy (lxelle):

Could you point out the mistakes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doesn't the addition angle formula (which i always forget) do it?

OpenStudy (lxelle):

Whats that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm it is what you are doing

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it seems there is a mistake in both formulas that you're using http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/2/9/3/293bf1a2868133bf4ae1042b706a3c14.png

OpenStudy (lxelle):

Ahhh, no wonder.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Notice that in tan(A+B) formula, the denominator has negative sign, not positive..

OpenStudy (lxelle):

yes thanksss. i just realized this. D:
