Worked solution
2(i)
1. Cross-multiply the given equation to remove fractions.
2. Expand both sides using the addition formulae for sine.
3. Expand the brackets and collect like terms.
4. Divide both sides by $\cos A \cos B$ to obtain the required tangent terms.

2(ii)
1. Rearrange the given equation to match the form in part (i)
2. Apply the result from part (i) to simplify the equation
Using the result from (i) with :
Since ,
3. Solve for A in the given interval
Basic angle
Since is positive, lies in the 1st and 3rd quadrants.
