Quel 1. Prove that:

If tan 70◦ = cot 70◦ + 2 cot 40◦

Hint − cot(70◦ ) = cot(90◦ − 20◦ ) = tan 20◦

cot(40◦ ) = cot(90◦ − 50◦ ) = tan 50◦
tan 50◦ + tan 20◦
tan(70◦ ) =
1 − (tan 50◦ )(tan 20◦ )

tan 70◦ − tan 70◦ · tan 50◦ · tan 20◦ = tan 50◦ + tan 20◦

tan 70◦ = tan 70◦ · tan 50◦ · tan 20◦ + tan 50◦ + tan 20◦

(tan 70◦ = tan(90◦ − 20◦ ) = cot 20◦ )

= cot 20◦ · tan 20◦ · tan 50◦ + tan 50◦ + tan 20◦

= 1 · tan 50◦ + tan 50◦ + tan 20◦

= 2 tan 50◦ + tan 20◦

= cot 70◦ + 2 cot 40◦

Also prove:
tan 50◦ = cot 50◦ + 2 cot 80◦
tan 80◦ = cot 80◦ + 2 cot 20◦
tan 40◦ = cot 40◦ − 2 cot 80◦
tan 75◦ = cot 75◦ + 2 cot 30◦

Quel 3. Find the value of (1 + tan 1◦ )(1 + tan 2◦ )(1 + tan 3◦ ) . . . (1 + tan 45◦ )
