Question:

The value of x that satisfies $tan^{-1}(tan 3)=tan^2x$, is

Options:

$\frac{\pi}{3}$

$-\frac{\pi}{3}$

$\sqrt{tan^{-1}3}$

none of these

Correct Answer:

none of these

Explanation:

We have,

$tan^{-1}(tan 3) = tan^{-1}\begin{Bmatrix}tan (3 - \pi )\end{Bmatrix}=  3 - \pi < 0$

and, $tan^2 x ≥ 0$

$∴ tan^{-1}(tan 3) = tan^2 x $ has no solution.
