In a triangle the bisector of the side c is perpendicular to side b. Prove that 2tanC + tanA = 0.
$$\mathrm{In}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{triangle}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{bisector}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{side}\:{c}\:\mathrm{is} \\ $$$$\mathrm{perpendicular}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{side}\:{b}.\:\mathrm{Prove}\:\mathrm{that} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2tanC}\:+\:\mathrm{tanA}\:=\:\mathrm{0}. \\ $$

If the bisector of a side is perpendicular to the other side ⇒ the angle between these sides is either 0° or 180°. The bisector of the angle c cannot be perpendicular to the side b because it′s the angle between the sides a and b.

δ=(√((a+b+c)(a+b−c)(a+c−b)(b+c−a))) tan α =(δ/(b^2 +c^2 −a^2 )) tan β =(δ/(a^2 +c^2 −b^2 )) tan γ =(δ/(a^2 +b^2 −c^2 )) 2tan γ +tan α =0 ⇔ a^2 −3b^2 −c^2 =0 Let c=1 ⇒ a=(√(3b^2 +1))∧δ=2b(√(1−b^2 )) ⇒ 0<b<1 tan α =−((√(1−b^2 ))/b) tan β =((b(√(1−b^2 )))/(b^2 +1)) tan γ =((√(1−b^2 ))/(2b)) You can draw any of these to see what′s perpendicular or not...
