Question Number 43467 by peter frank last updated on 11/Sep/18

prove that tanθ+2tan2θ+4tan   4θ  +8cot8θ=cotθ

provethattanθ+2tan2θ+4tan4θ+8cot8θ=cotθ

8cot 8θ+4tan 4θ+2tan 2θ+tan θ      = ((8(1−tan^2 4θ))/(2tan 4θ))+4tan 4θ+...       = 4cot 4θ+2tan 2θ+tan θ      = ((4(1−tan^2 2θ))/(2tan 2θ))+2tan 2θ+tan θ     = 2cot 2θ+tan θ     = ((2(1−tan^2 θ))/(2tan θ))+tan θ  = cot θ .

8cot8θ+4tan4θ+2tan2θ+tanθ=8(1tan24θ)2tan4θ+4tan4θ+...=4cot4θ+2tan2θ+tanθ=4(1tan22θ)2tan2θ+2tan2θ+tanθ=2cot2θ+tanθ=2(1tan2θ)2tanθ+tanθ=cotθ.

(8/(2tan 4θ)) = 4cot 4θ

82tan4θ=4cot4θ

tanθ−cotθ  =tanθ−(1/(tanθ))  =((tan^2 θ−1)/(tanθ))  =((−2(1−tan^2 θ))/(2tanθ))  =−2cot2θ  so  tanθ=cotθ−2cot2θ        2tan2θ=2(cot2θ−2cot4θ)         4tan4θ=  4(cot4θ−2cot8θ)          8cot8θ=8cot8θ  now add them  RHS =cotθ   new tricks...no need to calculatd tan2θ,  tan4θ   cot8θ etc...
