in d expression \frac{tan\frac{3\prod{}}{4} - tan\frac{\prod{}}{2}}{1+tan\frac{3\prod{}}{4}tan\frac{\prod{}}{2}}

dividing numerator and denominator with tanÎ /2 will give the value of tanÎ /4 as 1...

so amit is correct rite !! [12]

@amit: tan(a-b) = (tana-tanb)/(1+tanatanb) is defined only when tan(a-b), tana and tanb are defined..

@race: tanpi/2 is NOT DEFINED.. rather tanpi/2- = ∞ and tanpi/2+ = -∞ where pi/2+ means just greater than pi/2 and pi/2- means just less than pi/2

@ race we can even use tan(a-b) isnt it?

tanÎ /2 is a number tending to a very large value (we say, infinity) so there's nothing wrong if we divide it in numerator n denominator...

but why arent u using tan(a-b)

@amit and race: What is tan(Î /2) ?? is it defined ??? ur all using tanpi/2 but check whether it is defined

\frac{tan3\Pi /4-tan\Pi /2}{1+tan3\Pi /4.tan\Pi /2}

the above expression is of the form tan(a-b)= tana -tanb/1+tana.tanb

which will give tan(3pi/4-pi/2)=tan(pi/4) =1

tan(3x-2x) = (tan3x - tan2x)/(1+tan3xtan2x) = 1
==> tanx=1
==> x=π/4 but 2x = π/2 hence tan2x is not defined hence solution does not exist

amit 2x=pi/2 then tan(pi/2) is it defined ??

Optimus Prime ·

it does satisfy sir i have shown it in post no.3

Lokesh Verma ·

see amit the thing is that at pi/4, the given function itself does not satisfy..

So the function is undefined..

sir isnt my answer correct

Optimus Prime ·

i have told to take x=pi/4 (edited now)
which satifies the equation

62
Lokesh Verma ·

amit.. does asish solution not look correct?!!

I did not get what your proof is..

put x=1 it does not satisfy

106
Asish Mahapatra ·

if u take x=Î /4 then 2x=Î /2 which is not defined

1
Optimus Prime ·

take x=pi/4\frac{tan3\Pi /4-tan\Pi /2}{1+tan3\Pi /4.tan\Pi /2}

then using tan(a-b) formula

above expression will become tan(3pi/4 - pi/2)= tan(pi/4)=1

hence x=pi/4
