Prove that: tan 3x tan 2x tan x = tan 3x − tan 2x − tan x
To Prove this we will use trigonometric formulae of tan (A + B) = (tan A + tan B) / 1 - tan A tan B.
Answer: We can prove tan 3x tan 2x tan x = tan 3x − tan 2x − tan x using trigonometric formulae
Explanation:
We will start by splitting tan 3x
⇒ Let tan 3x = tan ( 2x + x )
Using the trigonometric formula tan(A + B), we get
⇒ tan 3x = tan 2x + tan x / 1 - tan 2x tan x
On solving this equation using cross multiplication, we get
⇒ tan 3x - tan 3x tan 2x tan x = tan 2x + tan x
⇒ tan 3x - tan 2x - tan x = tan 3x tan 2x tan x
Hence, it is proved that tan 3x tan 2x tan x = tan 3x − tan 2x − tan x.
