Hello friends, I know, and there is this formula for the sum of sines:

$sin(\alpha) + sin(\beta) = 2sin( \displaystyle\frac{\alpha + \beta}{2} ) cos( \displaystyle\frac{\alpha - \beta}{2} )$

and there is one for the sum of cosines,

I wonder if there is a similar to this:

$tan(\alpha) + tan(\beta)$

greetings

$\tan{\alpha} \pm \tan{\beta} = \frac{\sin(\alpha \pm \beta)}{\cos{\alpha}\cos{\beta}}$

HI

$
\frac{\sin \alpha\cos \beta \pm \cos \alpha \sin \beta}{\cos \alpha\cos \beta}=\frac{\sin (\alpha\pm \beta)}{\cos \alpha\cos \beta}
