Solve the following equation for x : cos^-1((x^2-1)/(x^2+1)) + 1/2 (tan^-1(2x/(1-x^2))) = 2π/3
Solve cos⁻¹((x²−1)/(x²+1)) + ½tan⁻¹(2x/(1−x²)) Solve \( \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{x^2 – 1}{x^2 + 1}\right) + \frac{1}{2}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1 – x^2}\right) = \frac{2\pi}{3} \) Solution: Use identities: \[ \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1 – t^2}{1 + t^2}\right) = 2\tan^{-1}(t) \] Here, \[ \frac{x^2 – 1}{x^2 + 1} = -\frac{1 – x^2}{1 + x^2} \] So, \[ \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{x^2 – 1}{x^2 + 1}\right) = \pi – 2\tan^{-1}(x) […]
