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

If \( \tan(A+B)=p \) and \( \tan(A-B)=q \), then find \( \tan2A \)

Solution:
Since, \[ 2A=(A+B)+(A-B) \]
Using identity, \[ \tan(x+y) = \frac{\tan x+\tan y}{1-\tan x\tan y} \]
\[ \tan2A = \tan[(A+B)+(A-B)] \]
\[ = \frac{\tan(A+B)+\tan(A-B)} {1-\tan(A+B)\tan(A-B)} \]
Given, \[ \tan(A+B)=p \] and \[ \tan(A-B)=q \]
Substituting, \[ \tan2A = \frac{p+q}{1-pq} \]
\[ \boxed{\tan2A=\frac{p+q}{1-pq}} \]
