This is a pretty solution.
What a use of formulas and trigonometric ratios!
As we know ln a + ln b = ln a × b so the series will go on as ln ( tan 1 × t a n 2 × t a n 3 × . . . . × t a n 8 9 ) Now from the multiplication we get the result, ln 1 = 0
i did the same way!
The Question actually involves both trigonometry and logarithmic knowledge. Clearly ln(x) + ln(y) = ln(xy), therefore, ln(tan1.tan2.....tan89)=ln(tan1tan2.....tan45.1/tan1.tan2.....)=ln(tan45)=ln1=0.
ln(tan 1 ) + ln(tan 89) = 0 same as ln(tan2) + ln(tan 88) = 0 sum up all the values = 0
So,
In (tan 1 * tan 2 * tan 3 * ... * tan 89) in degrees all is, 1..
Then,
In(1) = 0
Final answer: 0

By the property of logarithms ln a + ln b = ln ( a b ) the expression is now: ln ( tan 1 ° tan 2 ° tan 3 ° . . . tan 8 9 ° ) . Now, by the identity tan ( 9 0 ° − θ ) = tan θ 1 the expression is now: ln ( tan 1 ° tan 2 ° tan 3 ° . . . tan 4 5 ° tan 1 ° 1 tan 2 ° 1 tan 3 ° 1 . . . ) . Everything cancels except tan 4 5 ° which is 1 , so the expression is now ln 1 = 0 .
