Question

Prove the following:

`tan^-1(1/2) + tan^-1(1/3) = pi/(4)`

Sum

Solution

L.H.S. = `tan^-1(1/2) + tan^-1(1/3)`

= `tan^-1 [(1/2 + 1/3)/(1 - 1/2 * 1/3)]`    ...since `1/2 > 0, 1/3 > 0` and `(1/2)(1/3) < 1`

= `tan ^-1 ((5/6)/(1 - 1/6))`

= `tan^-1((5/6)/(5/6))`

= tan-1(1)

= `tan^-1(tan  pi/4)`

= `pi/(4)`

= R.H.S.
