if tan^2 theta + cot^2 theta = 2 theta is an acute angle then tan^3 theta + cost^3 theta is equal to
***
tan^2x+cot^2x=2
tan^2x+1/tan^2x=2
tan^4x+1=2tan^2x
tan^4x-2tan^2x+1=0
(tan^2x-1)(tan^2x-1)=0
tan^2x=1
tanx=1
cotx=1
...
use sum of cubes formula
tan^3x+cot^3x
=(tanx+cotx)(tan^2x-tanxcotx+cot^2x)
=(1+1)(1-1+1)=2(ans:a)
