Answer

See the step-by-step proof below.

Work Step by Step

Recall $ sin(A-B)=sinAcosB-sinBcosA $ and $ cos(A-B)=cosAcosB+sinAsinB $ We have: $ tan(A-B)=\frac{sin(A-B)}{cos(A-B)}=\frac{sinAcosB-sinBcosA}{cosAcosB+sinAsinB}$ Divide both the numerator and the denominator by $ cosAcosB $: $ tan(A+B)=\frac{tanA-tanB}{1+tanAtanB}$
