Finding $dfrac{1}{1+tan 70^{circ}}+dfrac{1}{1+tan 20^{circ}}$












1












$begingroup$



find the :
$$dfrac{1}{1+tan 70^{circ}}+dfrac{1}{1+tan 20^{circ}}$$




My Try :
$$dfrac{1}{1+dfrac{sin 70^{circ}}{cos 70^{circ}}}+dfrac{1}{1+dfrac{sin 20^{circ}}{cos 20^{circ}}}$$



$$dfrac{cos70^{circ}}{cos 70^{circ}+sin 70^{circ}}+dfrac{cos20^{circ}}{cos 20^{circ}+sin 20^{circ}}$$



now what do i do ?

Let $x=20^{circ}$



begin{eqnarray}dfrac{1}{1+tan 70^{circ}}+dfrac{1}{1+tan 20^{circ}}&=&dfrac{1}{1+cot 20^{circ}}+dfrac{1}{1+tan 20^{circ}}\&=& dfrac{sin x}{sin x+cos x}+dfrac{cos x}{cos x+sin x}\ &=&1end{eqnarray}

        See that $$tan (x) = frac{sin x}{cos x}=frac{cos (90^{circ}-x)}{sin (90^{circ}-x)}=frac{1}{tan (90^{circ}-x)}$$
        what happen if you take $x=70$




        $$dfrac{1}{1+tan 70^{circ}}+dfrac{1}{1+tan 20^{circ}} = dfrac{1}{1+frac{1}{tan 20^{circ}}}+dfrac{1}{1+tan 20^{circ}}= dfrac{tan 20^{circ}}{1+tan 20^{circ}}+dfrac{1}{1+tan 20^{circ}} = 1$$

                                      See that $$tan (x) = frac{sin x}{cos x}=frac{cos (90^{circ}-x)}{sin (90^{circ}-x)}=frac{1}{tan (90^{circ}-x)}$$
                                      what happen if you take $x=70$




                                      $$dfrac{1}{1+tan 70^{circ}}+dfrac{1}{1+tan 20^{circ}} = dfrac{1}{1+frac{1}{tan 20^{circ}}}+dfrac{1}{1+tan 20^{circ}}= dfrac{tan 20^{circ}}{1+tan 20^{circ}}+dfrac{1}{1+tan 20^{circ}} = 1$$
