If $\tan 4x+\tan 5x-\tan 9x=k\tan 4x\tan 5x\tan 9x$ then $k=$

AnswerClick to flip back
A
$-1$
💡 Explanation:

$\begin{array}{l}\tan 9x = \tan (4x + 5x) = \dfrac{{\tan 4x + \tan 5x}}{{1 - \tan 4x\tan 5x}}\ \Rightarrow \tan 9x - \tan 4x\tan 5x\tan 9x = \tan 4x + \tan 5x\ \Rightarrow \tan 4x + \tan 5x - \tan 9x =  - \tan 4x\tan 5x\tan 9x\\therefore k =  - 1\end{array}$
