Question: $\frac{A}{B} = \frac{1}{2\tan^{-1}2}$ A & B ratio is...

AB=12tan12\frac{A}{B} = \frac{1}{2\tan^{-1}2}

A & B ratio is

Answer

1:2tan121:2\tan^{-1}2

Explanation

Solution

The question asks for the ratio of A to B, given the equation AB=12tan12\frac{A}{B} = \frac{1}{2\tan^{-1}2}.

From the given equation, the fraction AB\frac{A}{B} is explicitly defined as being equal to 12tan12\frac{1}{2\tan^{-1}2}. The ratio of A to B is conventionally written as A:B, which is equivalent to the fraction AB\frac{A}{B}.

Therefore, the ratio A:B is directly given by the right-hand side of the equation. AB=12tan12\frac{A}{B} = \frac{1}{2\tan^{-1}2}

This means the ratio of A to B is 1:2tan121 : 2\tan^{-1}2. Since 2tan122\tan^{-1}2 is an irrational number, this ratio cannot be simplified into a ratio of two integers.

The approach here is to directly interpret the given equation as defining the ratio A:B. Unlike the similar question where specific numbers (4 and 8) were provided for A and B on the left side, here A and B are the variables themselves whose ratio is being sought.
