for i) if a b c are angles of a triangle, they add up to 180. hence tan(a+b+c) = tan(180) = 0
from the right hand side, the denominator can't be zero, so the numerator must equal zero
The topics aren't very different - They're just an extension of 2 unit concepts and so exposes you to wide variety of harder questions, effectively making the "simplistic" questions in 2u much easier.
