Question
If \tan \alpha and \tan \beta are the two real roots of the function x^2+px+q=0, find the value of \dfrac{\sin (\alpha +\beta) }{\cos(\alpha -\beta )}
If \tan \alpha and \tan \beta are the two real roots of the function x^2+px+q=0, find the value of \dfrac{\sin (\alpha +\beta) }{\cos(\alpha -\beta )}
Since \tan \alpha and \tan \beta are the two real roots of the function x^2+px+q=0
\tan \alpha \tan \beta =q
\tan \alpha +\tan \beta =p
\dfrac{\sin (\alpha +\beta) }{\cos(\alpha -\beta )}
=\dfrac{\sin \alpha\cos \beta +\cos \alpha \sin \beta}{\cos \alpha\cos \beta +\sin \alpha \sin \beta}
=\dfrac{\tan \alpha +\tan \beta }{1+\tan \alpha \tan \beta }
=\dfrac{p}{1+q}
