If ^ -1 + ^ -1 = ^ -1 x, then x= - Vidyadip

MCQ

If $\cot ^{-1} \alpha+\cot ^{-1} \beta=\cot ^{-1} x$, then $x=$

A
$\alpha+\beta$
B
$\alpha-\beta$
C
$\frac{1+\alpha \beta}{\alpha+\beta}$
✓
$\frac{\alpha \beta-1}{\alpha+\beta}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

$\frac{\alpha \beta-1}{\alpha+\beta}$

(D) $\cot ^{-1} \alpha+\cot ^{-1} \beta=\cot ^{-1} x$
$\Rightarrow \cot ^{-1}\left(\frac{\alpha \beta-1}{\alpha+\beta}\right)=\cot ^{-1} x$ $\ldots\left[\because \cot ^{-1} x+\cot ^{-1} y=\cot ^{-1}\left(\frac{x y-1}{x+y}\right)\right]$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{\alpha \beta-1}{\alpha+\beta}$
