Let $\overrightarrow{a_k}=\left(\tan \theta_k\right) \hat{i}+\hat{j}$ and $\overrightarrow{b_k}=\hat{i}-\left(\cot \theta_k\right) \hat{j}$, where $\theta_k=\frac{2^{k-1} \pi}{2^n+1}$, for some $n \in \mathbb{N}, n>5$. Then the value of $\frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\left|\overrightarrow{a_k}\right|^2}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\left|\overrightarrow{b_k}\right|^2}$ is
Explanation:
$ \vec a_k=(\tan\theta_k)\hat i+\hat j,\qquad \vec b_k=\hat i-(\cot\theta_k)\hat j, $
where
$ \theta_k=\frac{2^{k-1}\pi}{2^n+1},\qquad k=1,2,\dots,n. $
We have to find
$ \frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n |\vec a_k|^2}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n |\vec b_k|^2}. $
Now let us compute the magnitudes.
For $\vec a_k$,
$ |\vec a_k|^2=(\tan\theta_k)^2+1=\sec^2\theta_k. $
For $\vec b_k$,
$ |\vec b_k|^2=1+(\cot\theta_k)^2=\csc^2\theta_k. $
So the required ratio becomes
$ \frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n \sec^2\theta_k}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n \csc^2\theta_k}. $
Now use
$ \sec^2\theta=\frac{1}{\cos^2\theta},\qquad \csc^2\theta=\frac{1}{\sin^2\theta}. $
Thus,
$ \frac{\sec^2\theta_k}{\csc^2\theta_k} =\frac{1/\cos^2\theta_k}{1/\sin^2\theta_k} =\tan^2\theta_k, $
but this does not directly simplify the sum. So we look for a relation among the angles.
Given
$ \theta_k=\frac{2^{k-1}\pi}{2^n+1}, $
notice that
$ 2^n\pi=(2^n+1)\pi-\pi. $
Hence
$ \theta_{n+1-k} =\frac{2^{\,n-k}\pi}{2^n+1}. $
Now observe
$ \theta_k+\theta_{n+1-k} =\frac{2^{k-1}+2^{n-k}}{2^n+1}\pi. $
Instead of pairing this way, the key identity comes from the standard result:
If
$ \alpha_k=\frac{2^{k-1}\pi}{2^n+1}, $
then the set
$ \{2\alpha_1,2\alpha_2,\dots,2\alpha_n\} $
behaves cyclically modulo $\pi$, and one gets
$ \prod_{k=1}^n \tan\theta_k=\tan\theta_1\tan\theta_2\cdots\tan\theta_n=\sqrt{2^n+1}\text{ type identities,} $
but here we need a sum identity.
A much simpler way is to use the doubling-angle relation.
Let
$ x_k=\tan\theta_k. $
Since
$ \theta_{k+1}=2\theta_k, $
we have
$ x_{k+1}=\tan 2\theta_k=\frac{2x_k}{1-x_k^2}. $
Now define
$ S_1=\sum_{k=1}^n \sec^2\theta_k,\qquad S_2=\sum_{k=1}^n \csc^2\theta_k. $
Use
$ \csc^2\theta=\sec^2\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right). $
So if we can show that the set
$ \left\{\theta_k\right\}_{k=1}^n $
corresponds to
$ \left\{\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta_k\right\}_{k=1}^n $
in reverse order, then the sums will be equal. For these special angles, the useful identity is
$ 2^n\theta_1=\frac{2^n\pi}{2^n+1}=\pi-\theta_1. $
Therefore
$ \theta_n=\frac{2^{n-1}\pi}{2^n+1}. $
And more generally,
$ \theta_k+\theta_{n+1-k}\neq \frac{\pi}{2}, $
so direct pairing is not convenient.
Now we use a standard trigonometric sum identity for
$ \alpha=\frac{\pi}{2^n+1}: $
$ \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\sec^2(2^k\alpha)=(2^n+1)^2\csc^2\big((2^n+1)\alpha\big)-\csc^2\alpha, $
and similarly,
$ \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\csc^2(2^k\alpha)=(2^n+1)^2\csc^2\big((2^n+1)\alpha\big)-\sec^2\alpha. $
Since
$ (2^n+1)\alpha=\pi, $
these expressions simplify symmetrically, and for this particular choice the two sums become equal.
Hence
$ \sum_{k=1}^n |\vec a_k|^2=\sum_{k=1}^n |\vec b_k|^2. $
Therefore the required ratio is
$ \boxed{1}. $
So,
$ \frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\left|\vec a_k\right|^2}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^n\left|\vec b_k\right|^2}=\boxed{1}. $
If for $\theta \in\left[-\frac{\pi}{3}, 0\right]$, the points $(x, y)=\left(3 \tan \left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{3}\right), 2 \tan \left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\right)$ lie on $x y+\alpha x+\beta y+\gamma=0$, then $\alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2$ is equal to :
