Question

Show that tan11/2+tan12/11+tan14/3=π/2

Open in App
Solution

L.H.S

=tan112+tan1211+tan143

We know that

tan1x+tan1y+tan1z=tan1(x+y+z)(1xyyzzx)

Therefore,

=tan1⎜ ⎜ ⎜12+211+43112×211211×4343×12⎟ ⎟ ⎟

=tan1⎜ ⎜ ⎜33+12+8866111183×1123⎟ ⎟ ⎟

=tan1⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜133661(3+8+223×11)⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟

=tan1⎜ ⎜ ⎜ ⎜133661(3333)⎟ ⎟ ⎟ ⎟

=tan1⎜ ⎜ ⎜1336611⎟ ⎟ ⎟

=tan1⎜ ⎜ ⎜133660⎟ ⎟ ⎟

=tan1()

=tan1(tanπ2)

=π2

Hence, proved.
