If tan(A + B) = p and tan(A − B) = q, Find tan 2B

If tan(A + B) = p and tan(A − B) = q, Find tan 2B

Question: If \[ \tan(A+B)=p \] and \[ \tan(A-B)=q \] find \[ \tan2B \]

Solution

\[ 2B=(A+B)-(A-B) \]

\[ \tan2B = \tan[(A+B)-(A-B)] \]

Using \[ \tan(C-D)=\frac{\tan C-\tan D}{1+\tan C\tan D} \]

\[ \tan2B = \frac{ \tan(A+B)-\tan(A-B) } { 1+\tan(A+B)\tan(A-B) } \]

\[ = \frac{p-q}{1+pq} \]

\[ \boxed{ \tan2B=\frac{p-q}{1+pq} } \]
