Question

If a tanα+a21tanβ+a2+1tanγ=2a where a is constant and  α,β,γ are variable angles. Then the least value of 2727 tan2α+tan2β+tan2γ must be

Difficult
Solution

we have , atanβa21tanα2+a21tanγa2+1tanβ2+a2+1tanαatanγ20

a2+a21+a2+1tan2α+tan2β+tan2γatanα+a21tanβ+a2+1tanγ20   [using Lagrange's identity]

3a2tan2α+tan2β+tan2γ(2a)20 3tan2α+tan2β+tan2γ4

Hence 2727tan2α+tan2β+tan2γ3636

Least value is 3636.
