Solution

Consider the trigonometric equation. tan-1x2+x+ sin-1x2+x+1=π2Suppose that y=tan-1x2+x whcih implies that, tan y=x2+x1 =PBwhere P=perpendicular, B=base of right traingle.Then H=hypotenuse is given by, H=P2+B2 =x2+x2+12 =x2+x+1So the value sin y is given by sin y=PH=x2+xx2+x+1This further implies that, y=sin-1x2+xx2+x+1

So the given equation reduces to, sin-1x2+xx2+x+1+ sin-1x2+x+1=π2Use the formula, sin-1A+ sin-1B= sin-1A1-B2+B1-A2This implies that, sin-1x2+xx2+x+1x2+x+x2+x+11-x2+xx2+x+1=π2 x2+xx2+x+1+x2+x+11x2+x+1=sinπ2 x2+xx2+x+1+x2+x+11x2+x+1=sinπ2 x2+xx2+x+1+1=1Subtarct 1 from both sides to get, x2+xx2+x+1+1-1=1-1 x2+xx2+x+1=0 xx+1=0 Equate each of the factor to zero to get, x=0 and x=-1
