Calculation of $x$ in $tan^{-1}left(frac{x}{1-x^2}right)+tan^{-1}left(frac{1}{x^3}right) = frac{3pi}{4}$












1














The no. of real values of $x$ satisfying $displaystyle tan^{-1}left(frac{x}{1-x^2}right)+tan^{-1}left(frac{1}{x^3}right) = frac{3pi}{4}$



options ::



(a) $0$



(b) $1$



(c) $2$



(d) Infinitely many



My Try:: Using The formula $tan^{-1}A+tan^{-1}B = tan^{-1}left(frac{A+B}{1-AB}right)$



So $displaystyle tan^{-1}left(frac{frac{x}{1-x^2}+frac{1}{x^3}}{1-frac{x}{x^3.(1-x^2)}}right) = frac{3pi}{4}$



So $displaystyle frac{x^4+1-x^2}{x^3-x^5-x}= -1$



So $(x-1)(x^4-x+1) = 0$



$x = 1$ and $x^4 -x+1 = 0$



So Iam getting only one value of $x$ which is $x=1$ and How can i calculate any real value of $x$ exists from $x^4-x+1 = 0$



OR any other method by using we can solve this Question



Thanks

  1. If $|x|<1$, then $x^4+1>1>x$. If $|x|geq 1$, then $x^4+1>x^4geq x$. In both cases
    $$
    x^4-x+1>0
    $$
    so the equation $x^4-x+1=0$ have no real solutions.


  2. Note that $x=1$ is not a solution of original equation.

  • Thanks Norbert for solving $x^4-x+1 = 0$ but i did not understand why $x= 1$ is not a solution of original equation because at $x = 1$ the equation is $displaystyle tan^{-1}(infty)+tan^{-1}(1) = frac{pi}{2}+frac{pi}{4} = frac{3pi}{4}$ which is exactly equaal to $R.H.S$

    Expression $tan^{-1}(infty)$ makes no sense. Even if you are talking about limits it is not ok because $$limlimits_{xto 1+}tan^{-1}frac{x}{1-x^2}=frac{pi}{2}$$$$limlimits_{xto 1-}tan^{-1}frac{x}{1-x^2}=-frac{pi}{2}.$$ Not to mention that you can't substitute $x=1$ into expression $frac{x}{1-x^2}$
