Question

If tan-12x + tan-13x = `pi/4`, then find the value of x.

Sum

Solution

tan-12x + tan-13x = `pi/4`

∴ `tan^-1  ((2"x" + 3"x")/(1 - "2x" xx "3x")) = pi/4`, where 2x > 0, 3x > 0

∴ `"5x"/(1 - "6x"^2) = tan  pi/4 = 1`

∴ 5x = 1 - 6x2

∴ 6x2 + 5x - 1 = 0

∴ 6x2 + 6x - x - 1 = 0

∴ 6x(x + 1) - 1(x + 1) = 0

∴ (x + 1)(6x - 1) = 0

∴ x = -1 or x = `1/6`

But x > 0  ∴ x ≠ - 1

Hence, x = `1/6`
