Question from Evan, a student: Could you please help me with this question... Derive an expression for tan3x in terms of tanx |
Evan,
I assume that you know the fact that
Write tan(3x) as tan(2x + x) and then use the expression above to write tan(3x) in terms of tan(x) and tan(2x). Next write tan(2x) as tan(x + x) and use the expression above again to write tan(3x) in terms of tan(x). Simplify the expression.
