10. If tan ( 2 + 3 ) = n tan ( 2 − 3 ) and ( n + 1) sin a = ( n − 1) sin b , then find the value of a 3 + b3 .
Answer: 280.00
Solution:
tan ( 2 + 3 )
tan ( 2 + 3 ) = n tan ( 2 − 3 )  n =
tan ( 2 − 3 )
Using componendo and dividendo, we have
n + 1 tan ( 2 + 3 ) + tan ( 2 − 3 )
=
n − 1 tan ( 2 + 3 ) − tan ( 2 − 3 )
sin ( 2 + 3 ) sin ( 2 − 3 )
+
cos ( 2 + 3 ) cos ( 2 − 3 )
=
sin ( 2 + 3 ) sin ( 2 − 3 )
−
cos ( 2 + 3 ) cos ( 2 − 3 )
sin ( 2 + 3 ) cos ( 2 − 3 ) + sin ( 2 − 3 ) cos ( 2 + 3 )
=
sin ( 2 + 3 ) cos ( 2 − 3 ) − sin ( 2 − 3 ) cos ( 2 + 3 )
sin ( 2 + 3 + 2 − 3 )
=
sin ( 2 + 3 − 2 + 3 )
sin 4
=
sin 6
 ( n + 1) sin 6 = ( n − 1) sin 4
Comparing with ( n + 1) sin a = ( n − 1) sin b , we see that a = 6 and b = 4 .
Thus, a3 + b3 = 63 + 43 = 216 + 64 = 280 .
