Solution

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

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

= `tan^-1 [(x - x^3 + 2x)/(1 - 3x^2)]`

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

If `3x^2 < 1`

⇒ `x^2 < 1/3`

⇒ `|x| < 1/sqrt(3)`
