Homework Statement
Given:
sin x + sin y= a
cos x + cos y=b
find tan(x+y)
Prove it to be equal to"
[tex]\frac{2ab}{b^{2}-a^{2}}[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I get stuck after this:
2ab= 2 sin (x+y)+sin 2x+sin 2y
[tex]b^{2}-a^{2}= cos 2x + cos 2y + 2 cos (x+y) [/tex]
Division of the two never results in tan (x+y).
Plase help me express tan (x+y) in terms of a,b!
