Solution

L.H.S. `cot(pi/4 - 2cot^-1 3)`

= `cot[tan^-1(1) - 2 tan^-1  1/3]`  ......`[because cot^-1x = tan^-1  1/x]`

= `cot[tan^-1(1) - tan^-1  (2 xx 1/3)/(1 - (1/3)^2)]`  ......`[because 2tan^-1x = tan^-1  (2x)/(1 - x^2)]`

= `cot[tan^-1(1) - tan^-1  (2/3)/(8/9)]`

= `cot[tan^-1(1) - tan^-1  3/4]`

= `cot[tan^-1 ((1 - 3/4)/(1 + 1 xx 3/4))]`

= `cot[tan^-1 ((1/4)/(7/4))]`

= `cot[tan^-1  1/7]`   ......`[because tan^-1  1/x =  cot^-1x]`

= `cot[cot^-1 (7)]`

= 7 R.H.S

Hence Proved.
