If $\tan \mathrm{A}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x\left(x^2+x+1\right)}}, \tan \mathrm{B}=\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x^2+x+1}}$ and $\tan \mathrm{C}=\sqrt{x^{-1}+x^{-2}+x^{-3}}$ then
- Correct answerA$A+B=C$
- B$A+B=2 C$
- C$A+B=3 C$
- D$A+B=4 C$
Solution
Simplify $\tan C$:
Given $\tan C = \sqrt{x^{-1}+x^{-2}+x^{-3}}$, express with common denominator $x^3$:
$\tan C = \sqrt{\frac{x^2+x+1}{x^3}} = \frac{\sqrt{x^2+x+1}}{x^{3/2}}$
Compute $\tan(A+B)$:
Using $\tan A = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x^2+x+1}}$ and $\tan B = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x^2+x+1}}$, the sum is:
$\tan A + \tan B = \frac{1+x}{\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x^2+x+1}}$
The product simplifies to:
$\tan A \tan B = \frac{1}{x^2+x+1}$
Applying the tangent addition formula:
$\tan(A+B) = \frac{\frac{1+x}{\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x^2+x+1}}}{1 - \frac{1}{x^2+x+1}} = \frac{1+x}{\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x^2+x+1}} \cdot \frac{x^2+x+1}{x^2+x}$
Factoring and simplifying:
$\tan(A+B) = \frac{1+x}{\sqrt{x}\sqrt{x^2+x+1}} \cdot \frac{(\sqrt{x^2+x+1})^2}{x(1+x)} = \frac{\sqrt{x^2+x+1}}{x^{3/2}}$
Conclusion:
Since $\tan(A+B) = \tan C$, it follows that $A+B=C$.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
