If tan A and tan B are the roots of the equation
x2 – px + q = 0, the value of sin2(A + B) is –
A
p2–(1−q)2p2
B
p2+(1−q2)p2
C
p2–(1−q2)p2
D
None of these
Answer
p2+(1−q2)p2
Explanation
Solution
tan A + tan B = p
tan A. tan B = q
tan (A + B) = 1−tanAtanBtanA+tanB=1−qp
sin2 (A + B) = 21−cos2(A+B)
= 21 [1−1+tan2( A+B)1−tan2( A+B)]
=1+tan2( A+B)tan2( A+B)= 1+(p2/(1−q)2)p2/(1−q)2
= (1−q)2+p2p2
