tan theta=1/4
tan theta=3/5
tan(theta+beta)=tan(1/4+3/5)=tan theta+tan beta/1-tan theta*tan beta
(1/4)+(3/5)/1-(1/4)*(3/5)=5/20+12/20/1-3/20=17/20/17/20=1
In this problem, you are given tan theta and tan beta. First to solve this problem, you need to know the formula. The formula that you need is tan theta+tan beta/1-tan theta*tan beta. Now that you have the formula, you just plug in the numbers you are given into the formula. So now you have 1/4+3/5/1-1/4*3/5. First in solving this equation, you have to find common denominators so you can add the top two fractions. 20 is the common denominator I used, so I had 5/20+12/20. That gave me 17/20. Next for the bottom half of the equation, you multiply the two fractions first and get 1-3/20. Then you subtract 1 form 3/20 and get 17/20. Now you have 17/20/17/20. That equals 1.
