Question

A particle is moving in $$XY-plane$$. It starts to move from origin O at an angle a with $$X-axis$$. It has a constant acceleration in negative $$Y-direction$$. After some time it passes through a point B in a direction making angle β with the $$X-axis$$. If OB makes θ$$=45$$∘ angle with the $$X-axis$$, the value of $$tan$$α$$+$$$$tan$$⁡β is $$__________$$.
