Question
If $ \tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}=\text{a}$ and $\cot\text{A}+\cot\text{B}=\text{b},$ prove that $\cot\text{(A}+\text{B)}=\frac{1}{\text{a}}-\frac{1}{\text{b}}.$

Answer

We have,
$\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}=\text{a}$ $\text{and}\ \cot\text{A}+\cot\text{B}=\text{b}$
$\cot\text{A}+\cot\text{B}=\text{b}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{\tan\text{A}}+\frac{1}{\tan\text{B}}=\text{b}$ $\Big[\because\cot\theta=\frac{1}{\tan\theta}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\tan\text{B}+\tan\text{A}}{\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}}=\text{b}$ $\big[\because\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}=\text{a}\big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}}=\text{b}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}$
$\because\cot\text{(A}+\text{B)}=\frac{1}{\tan\text{(A}+\text{B)}}$
$=\frac{\frac{1}{\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}}}{1-\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}}$
$=\frac{1-\tan\text{A}\tan\text{B}}{\tan\text{A} +\tan\text{B}}$
$=\frac{1-\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}}{\text{a}}$
$=\frac{\text{b}-\text{a}}{\text{ab}}$ $\big[\because\tan\text{A}+\tan\text{B}=\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\big]$
$=\frac{\text{b}}{\text{ab}}-\frac{\text{a}}{\text{ab}}$
$=\frac{\text{1}}{\text{a}}-\frac{\text{1}}{\text{b}}$
$\therefore\cot\text{(A}+\text{B)}=\frac{1}{\text{a}}-\frac{1}{\text{b}}$
Hence proved.
