Answer:

See below for proof.

Explanation:

Begin by using the trigonometric identity:


\boxed{\tan(A+B) = (\tan A + \tan B)/(1 - \tan A \tan B)}

Given that A + B = π/4, then:


\tan\left((\pi)/(4)\right) = (\tan A + \tan B)/(1 - \tan A \tan B)

Since tan(π/4) = 1, we can simplify the equation to:


1= (\tan A + \tan B)/(1 - \tan A \tan B)

Multiply both sides by (1 - tan A tan B):


1 - \tan A \tan B=\tan A + \tan B

Add tan A tan B to both sides of the equation:


1=\tan A +\tan B+ \tan A \tan B

Rearrange:


\tan B + \tan A\tan B+\tan A=1

Add 1 to both sides of the equation:


\tan B + \tan A\tan B+1+\tan A=2

Factor out the common term tan B from the first two terms:


(1+\tan A)\tan B+1+\tan A=2

Rewrite as:


(1+\tan A)\tan B+1(1+\tan A)=2

Factor out the common term (1 + tan A):


(1+\tan A)(1 + \tan B)=2

Therefore, we have shown that (1 + tan A)(1 + tan B) = 2 when A + B = π/4.
