Evaluate the sum
lo g cos 1 ( tan 1 ) + lo g cos 2 ( tan 2 ) + lo g cos 3 ( tan 3 ) + … + lo g cos 4 4 ( tan 4 4 ) + lo g sin 4 5 ( tan 4 5 ) + lo g sin 4 6 ( tan 4 6 ) + … + lo g sin 8 9 ( tan 8 9 ) .
Note: All angles are in degrees, and be aware that the base changes from cos to sin .

I checked my answer in a calculator and I still got a decimal answer.. Why is it that I am wrong??
got good guesses
Why the problem is reported? I guess latex doesn't look good (tangent looks like its in power) you should clarify it in problem.

Ya, probably

The clarification stated "Base, coefficient , power ??? Nothing is clear. Please make it clear."
Please ensure that you are receiving clarification emails from us, to help you deal with the dispute.
It is also not immediately obvious that the calculations should be done in degrees instead of radians. I have added a line in. It would be much better for you to state 1 ∘ directly instead.
@Trevor Arashiro can you please explain why wolfram alpha says this.

@Sualeh Asif – Could be because it's interpreting it as radians, because since tan, sin, and cos are all positive between 1 and 89, I'm not sure if it's posible to be getting an I any where
Why are you writing the coefficient as the power. I've edited the problem now. Simply write it as simple latex. !!!
Ok ..le falta un poko mas..
Let the sum of the expression be S , then we have:
S = k = 1 ∑ 4 4 lo g cos k ∘ ( tan k ∘ ) + k = 4 5 ∑ 8 9 lo g sin k ∘ ( tan k ∘ ) = k = 1 ∑ 4 4 lo g ( cos k ∘ ) lo g ( tan k ∘ ) + k = 4 5 ∑ 8 9 lo g ( sin k ∘ ) lo g ( tan k ∘ ) = k = 1 ∑ 4 4 lo g ( cos k ∘ ) lo g ( sin k ∘ ) − lo g ( cos k ∘ ) + k = 4 5 ∑ 8 9 lo g ( sin k ∘ ) lo g ( sin k ∘ ) − lo g ( cos k ∘ ) = k = 1 ∑ 4 4 lo g ( cos k ∘ ) lo g ( sin k ∘ ) − lo g ( cos k ∘ ) + k = 4 5 ∑ 8 9 lo g ( cos ( 9 0 − k ) ∘ ) lo g ( cos ( 9 0 − k ) ∘ ) − lo g ( sin ( 9 0 − k ) ∘ ) = k = 1 ∑ 4 4 lo g ( cos k ∘ ) lo g ( sin k ∘ ) − lo g ( cos k ∘ ) + k = 1 ∑ 4 4 lo g ( cos k ∘ ) lo g ( cos k ∘ ) − lo g ( sin k ∘ ) = 0

cos x = sin ( 9 0 − x )
So the logs tan ( x ) and tan 9 0 − x have the same base.
Using the log property lo g c a + lo g c b = lo g c a b
We get 1 ∑ 8 9 lo g cos x ( tan x ∗ tan ( 9 0 − x ) )
lo g sin 4 5 ( tan 4 5 ) + 1 ∑ 4 4 lo g cos x ( cos x sin x ∗ cos ( 9 0 − x ) sin ( 9 0 − x ) )
0 + 1 ∑ 4 4 lo g cos x ( cos x sin x ∗ sin x cos x )
1 ∑ 4 4 lo g cos x 1
Regardless of what cos x is, each log will be 0. Thus our total sum is 0.
