Question

Prove that

`tan^-1((1-x^2)/(2x))+cot^-1((1-x^2)/(2x))=pi/2`

Advertisements

Solution

`tan^-1((1-x^2)/(2x))+cot^-1((1-x^2)/(2x))=pi/2`

LHS = `tan^-1((1-x^2)/(2x))+cot^-1((1-x^2)/(2x))`

  `=tan^-1((1-x^2)/(2x))+pi/2-tan^-1((1-x^2)/(2x))`     `[becausetan^-1x+cot^-1x=pi/2]`

`=pi/2=`  RHS
