For any a, b, x, y greater than 0, prove that: 2/3 (tan^-1{(3ab^2-a^3)/(b^3-3a^2b)} + 2/3 {(tan^-1(3xy^2-x^3)/(y^3-3x^2y)} = tan^-1{(2αβ/(α^2-β^2)}, where α = -ax+by, β = bx+ay.
Prove Advanced tan⁻¹ Identity Prove that for \(a,b,x,y > 0\), \[ \frac{2}{3}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3ab^2 – a^3}{b^3 – 3a^2b}\right) + \frac{2}{3}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3xy^2 – x^3}{y^3 – 3x^2y}\right) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2\alpha\beta}{\alpha^2 – \beta^2}\right) \] where \( \alpha = -ax + by,\; \beta = bx + ay \) Solution: Use the identity: \[ \tan(3\theta) = \frac{3\tan\theta – \tan^3\theta}{1 – 3\tan^2\theta} \] This implies: […]
