Write the value of ^ -1 x+ ^ -1 (1 x ) for x > 0. - Vidyadip

Question

Write the value of $\tan^{-1}\text{x}+\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)$ for x > 0.

✓

Answer

$\tan^{-1}\text{x}+\tan^{-1}\text{y}=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{x}+\text{y}}{1-\text{xy}}\Big),\text{xy}<1$
$\therefore\ \tan^{-1}\text{x}+\tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\tan^{-1}\bigg(\frac{\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}}{1-\text{x}\frac{1}{\text{x}}}\bigg),\text{x}>0$
$=\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{x}^2+1}{0}\Big)$
$=\tan^{-1}(\infty)$
$=\tan^{-1}\Big(\tan\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)$
$=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\therefore\ \tan^{-1}\text{x}+\tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{\pi}{2}$

In answering a question on a multiple choice test a student either knows the answer or guesses. Let $\frac{3}{4}$ be the probability that he knows the answer and $\frac{1}{4}$ be the probability that he guesses.
