If $\frac{1-\tan \theta}{1+\tan \theta}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$, where $\theta \in\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$, then $\theta=$
- $\frac{\pi}{12}$
- $\frac{\pi}{4}$
- $\frac{\pi}{6}$
- $\frac{\pi}{3}$
Solution
Given $\frac{1-\tan \theta}{1+\tan \theta}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
$\therefore \tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\theta\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Comparing with $\tan \frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$, we write
$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{\pi}{4}-\theta=\frac{\pi}{6} \\
\therefore & \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{6}=\frac{\pi}{12}
\end{aligned}$
