Question Number 13403 by Tinkutara last updated on 19/May/17

If \tan (A - B) = 1, \sec (A + B) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}},

then prove that the smallest positive

value of B is \frac{19 π}{24} .

B = \frac{7 π}{24}

A = \frac{37 π}{24}

A + B = \frac{44 π}{24}, \sec (\frac{44 π}{24}) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}

A - B = \frac{30 π}{24}, \tan (\frac{30 π}{24}) = 1

\tan (A - B) = 1

\Rightarrow A - B = \frac{π}{4} + n π \dots . (i)

\sec (A + B) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow \cos (A + B) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

\Rightarrow A + B = 2 m π \pm \frac{π}{6} \dots . . (i i)

(i i) - (i) g i v e s :

2 B = (2 m - n) π - \frac{π}{12}, o r \dots (a)

2 B = (2 m - n) π - \frac{5 π}{12} \dots (b)

i f B i s t o b e s m a l l e s t a n d p o s i t i v e

l e t u s t a k e 2 m - n = 1 i n (b)

B = \frac{7 π}{24} .

i f y o u p u t : 2 m - n = 2 \Rightarrow 2 B = 2 π - \frac{5 π}{12} = \frac{19 π}{12}

\Rightarrow B = \frac{19 π}{24}

{t g}^{2} (A + B) = {s e c}^{2} (A + B) - 1 = \frac{4}{3} - 1 = \frac{1}{3}

\Rightarrow t g (A + B) = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}

t g (2 B) = \frac{t g (A + B) - t g (A - B)}{1 + t g (A + B) . t g (A - B)} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} - 1}{1 + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}} =

= \frac{\sqrt{3} - 3}{\sqrt{3} + 3} = \frac{- (\sqrt{3} - 1)}{\sqrt{3} + 1} = \frac{- (4 - 2 \sqrt{3)}}{2} = - (2 - \sqrt{3}) = - t g \frac{π}{12}

= t g (π - \frac{π}{12}) = t g \frac{11 π}{12} \Rightarrow 2 B = \frac{11 π}{12} \Rightarrow B = \frac{11 π}{24} .

t g (2 B) = \frac{\frac{- \sqrt{3}}{3} - 1}{1 - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 3}{\sqrt{3} - 3} = \frac{\sqrt{3} + 1}{1 - \sqrt{3}} = - (2 + \sqrt{3})

= - t g (\frac{5 π}{12}) = t g (π - \frac{5 π}{12}) = t g \frac{7 π}{12} \Rightarrow B = \frac{7 π}{24} .
