Trigonometric Equations Question 314

Question: If in a triangle ABC the sides $ AB $ and AC are perpendicular, then the true equation is

Options:

A) $ \tan A+\tan B=0 $

B) $ \tan B+\tan C=0 $

C) $ \tan A+2\tan C=0 $

D) $ \tan B.\tan C=1 $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • $ \tan A=\tan (\pi -B-C) $ ; $ \infty =-\frac{\tan B+\tan C}{1-\tan B\tan C} $
    $ \Rightarrow 1-\tan B\tan C=0 $
    Þ $ \tan B\tan C=1 $ .
