Simplify (2 ⁄ tanA) + (4 ⁄ tanB)

  • A.(2tanB + 4tanA) ⁄ tanAtanB
  • B.(2tanA + 4tanB) ⁄ tanAtanB
  • C.6 ⁄ (tanA + tanB)
  • D.None of the above

Answer: A

The common denominator is \( \tan A \tan B \).

\[ \frac{2}{\tan A} + \frac{4}{\tan B} = \frac{2\tan B}{\tan A \tan B} + \frac{4\tan A}{\tan A \tan B} \]

\[ = \frac{2\tan B + 4\tan A}{\tan A \tan B} \]

Each numerator picks up the other denominator - swapping them is the error the second option represents.
