If tanx+tany=25 and cotx+coty=30, what is tan(x+y)?
A number or a short expression. Spacing, $ signs and \frac vs / are all fine.
Official solution
Since cot is the reciprocal function of tan: cotx+coty=tanx1+tany1=tanx⋅tanytanx+tany=30 Thus, tanx⋅tany=30tanx+tany=3025=65 Using the tangent addition formula: tan(x+y)=1−tanx⋅tanytanx+tany=1−6525=150.
