how is tan (A+B) = [tan A + tan B]/[1 - tan A tan B]?

How is tan (A+B) = [tan A + tan B]/
[1 - tan A tan B]?

Method 1:
Let A = 30 deg and B = 45 deg.
LHS = tan (30+45) = tan 75 = 3.732050808
RHS = [tan A + tan B]/[1 - tan A tan B]
= [tan 30 + tan 45]/[1 - tan 30 tan 45]
= [0.577350269 + 1]/[1 - 0.577350269*1]
= 1.577350269/0.42264973
= 3.732050808 = LHS
Proved.
Method 2:
tan (A+B) = [tan A + tan B]/[1 - tan A tan B]
RHS = [tan A + tan B]/[1 - tan A tan B]
=[(sin A/cos A) + (sin B/cos B)]/[1-(sin A/cos A)(sin B/cos B)
= [sin A cos B + cos A sin B]/[cos A cos B][1 - sin A sin B/(cos A cos B)]
= sin (A+B)/{[cos A cos B][cos A cos B - sin A sin B]/(cos A cos B)}
= sin (A+B)/[cos A cos B - sin A sin B
= sin (A+B)/cos (A+B)
= tan (A+B) = LHS.
Proved.
Thanks.

area of sphere

Well ever wondered how the  Surface Area of a Sphere  was derived? Well here is a great visualisation to alter your perception. Step 1 : Cut the sphere in the following way. Step 2 : Spread the cut out part across the paper Step 3 : Collate the pieces together in the following way Step 4 : Spread the areas out separately to form a sine curve Step 5 : The area of the sine curve is the surface area of the sphere Here’s a  GIF file  for better understanding. There’s of course the generic method of calculation where the surface area is calculated by cutting the sphere into infinitesimally thin disks of varying radius stacked over one another and integrating them, but this above method is a different way to look at the same problem.

ALGEBRA is great fun

Algebra is great fun - you get to solve puzzles! With computer games you play by running, jumping or finding secret things. Well, with Algebra you play with letters, numbers and symbols, and you also get to find secret things! And once you learn some of the "tricks", it becomes a fun challenge to work out how to use your skills in solving each "puzzle".
