What is ^ -1 ((1)/(4))+ ^ -1 ((3)/(5))equal to?

What is tan⁡−1(14)+tan⁡−1(35)equalto?\tan ^{-1} \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)+\tan ^{-1} \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)equal to?

Options

  1. A0
  2. Bπ4\frac{\pi}{4}
  3. Cπ3\frac{\pi}{3}
  4. Dπ2\frac{\pi}{2}

Correct answer

B. π4\frac{\pi}{4}

Step-by-step solution

tan⁡−1(14)+tan⁡−1\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)+\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)Weknow,We know,\tan ^{-1} x+\tan ^{-1} y=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x+y}{1-x y}\right)So,So,\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)+\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)=\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{5}}{1-\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)}\right)=tan⁡−1(5+12201−320)=tan⁡−1(17201720)=tan⁡−1(1)=π4\begin{aligned} & =\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{5+12}{20}}{1-\frac{3}{20}}\right) \\ & =\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{17}{20}}{\frac{17}{20}}\right)=\tan ^{-1}(1)=\frac{\pi}{4} \end{aligned}
