If 0 < a , b < 1 , and tan - 1 a + tan - 1 b = π 4 , then the value of a + b - a 2 + b 2 2 + a…

If 0<a,b<1, and tan-1a+tan-1b=π4, then the value of a+b-a2+b22+a3+b33-a4+b44+ is :
  1. logee2
  2. e
  3. e2-1
  4. loge2

Solution

tan-1a+tan-1 b=π4 0<a,b<1

a+b1-ab=1

a+b=1-ab

a+1b+1=2

Now a-a22+a33++b-b22+b33+

=loge1+a+loge1+b

( expansion of loge1+x)

=loge1+a1+b

=loge2
