For any y ∈ ℝ , let cot - 1 y ∈ 0 , π and tan - 1 y ∈ - π 2 , π 2 .…

For any y, let cot-1y0,π and tan-1y-π2,π2. Then the sum of all the solutions of the equation tan-16y9-y2+cot-19-y26y=2π3 for 0<|y|<3, is equal to
  1. 23-3
  2. 3-23
  3. 43-6
  4. 6-43

Solution

Given,

tan-16y9-y2+cot-19-y26y=2π3

And 0<|y|<3y-3,3-0

Now taking, Case-l:

When 6y9-y2>0y>0

tan16y9y2+tan16y9y2=2π3

2tan-16y9-y2=2π3

tan-16y9-y2=π3

6y9-y2=3

6y=93-3y2

3y2+6y-93=0

3y2+9y-3y-93=0

y+333y-3=0

y-33  y=3 as y(0,3)

Now taking, Case-II: 

When 6y9-y2<0y<0

tan-16y9-y2+π+tan-16y9-y2=2π3

2tan-16y9-y2=-π3

tan-16y9-y2=-π6

6y9-y2=-13

63y=-9+y2

y2-63y-9=0

y=63±108+362=63±122=33±6

 As y(3.0), so y=336

 Sum of solutions =3+(336)=436
