Question
Prove that cot−1(7) + 2 cot−1(3) = `pi/4`
Advertisements
Solution
L.H.S. = cot−1(7) + 2 cot−1(3)
= cot–1(7) + cot–1(3) + cot–1(3)
= `pi/2 -tan^-1(7) + pi/2 - tan^-1(3) + pi/2 - tan^-1(3)` .......`[∵ tan^(−1)x + cot^(−1)x = pi/2]`
= `(3pi)/2 - [pi + tan^-1 ((7 + 3)/(1 - 7 xx 3)) + tan^-1(3)]` .......`[∵ tan^(-1)x + tan^(-1)y = pi + tan^(-1) (x + y)/(1 - xy), "if" x, y > 0 and xy > 1]`
= `(3pi)/2 - pi - [tan^-1 (10/-20) + tan^-1(3)]`
= `pi/2 - [tan^-1 (1/2) + tan^-1(3)]`
= `pi/2 - [tan^-1(3) - tan^-1(1/2)]` .......`[∵ tan^-1(-x) = -tan^-1(x)]`
= `pi/2 - [tan^-1((3 - 1/2)/(1 + (3)(1/2)))]`
= `pi/2 - [tan^-1((5/2)/(5/2))]`
= `pi/2 - tan^-1(1)`
= `pi/2 - pi/4`
= `pi/4`
= R.H.S.
