use tan x is an increasing function between 0 and pi/3

and then take the tan of A+B

then expand .. i think this hint should help..

To be true i havent solved till the end.. but i believe this can be pulled off using this.. just give it a shot.. or i wll post the full soln :)

how can i interpret the maximum value of tanA.tanB from the expression - √3 - √3tanA.tanB = tanA + tan B

hmm... so first write the expression for tanA tanB

then u should try and get the benefit of the fact that tanA and tan B is increasing!

u know B in terms of A!!

√3 - (tanA + tan B) = √3tanA.tanB

maximum when tan A + tan B is minimum!

right?

so tan A + tan (pi/3-A) is minimum!

right?

Now what? think it.
