If $\tan ^{-1} 2 x+\tan ^{-1} 3 x=\frac{\pi}{4}$, then number of solution(s) of the given equation is : |
One Two Infinite No solution |
Two |
$\tan ^{-1} 2 x+\tan ^{-1} 3 x=\frac{\pi}{4}$ taking tan on both sides $\tan \left(\tan ^{-1} 2 x+\tan ^{-1} 3 x\right)=\tan \frac{\pi}{4}$ $= \frac{2 x+3 x}{1-2 x \times 3 x}=1$ $\Rightarrow \frac{5 x}{1-6 x^2}=1$ $5 x=1-6 x^2$ $6 x^2+5 x-1=0$ factorising equation $6 x^2+6 x-x-1=0$ so $6x(x + 1) - 1(x + 1) = 0$ $(6x - 1)(x + 1) = 0$ $x = \frac{1}{6}, -1$ Hence option 2 has two solutions. |
