The value of 25+25tan2A50+50cot2A is:
21cot2A
2tan2A
2cot2A
21tan2A
2cot2A
Factor out constants 50 and 25 from the numerator and denominator, then use the identity cot2A=tan2A1 to simplify the remaining expression rapidly.
An expression containing trigonometric terms: (50 + 50 cot² A) / (25 + 25 tan² A)
1+cot2A=csc2A,1+tan2A=sec2A,cotA=tanA1
Factor out constants 50 and 25 from the numerator and denominator, then use the identity cot2A=tan2A1 to simplify the remaining expression rapidly.
Confusing the identity for 1+tan2A with 1−tan2A, or incorrectly simplifying the ratio of constants 50/25.
Factor out constants
Factor 50 from the numerator and 25 from the denominator to simplify the expression:
25(1+tan2A)50(1+cot2A)=2⋅1+tan2A1+cot2A
Apply trigonometric identities
Substitute 1+cot2A=csc2A and 1+tan2A=sec2A:
2⋅sec2Acsc2A=2⋅1/cos2A1/sin2A=2⋅sin2Acos2A
Final simplification
Since sin2Acos2A=cot2A, the final value is:
2cot2A
A is correct because simplifying the expression using trigonometric identities leads directly to 2 cot² A.
Always convert all trigonometric functions into sine and cosine if you are unsure of the path; it acts as a universal bridge for simplifying complex trigonometric expressions.
