If \(y=\log _e \tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{x}{2}\right)\), then \(\tanh \left(\frac{y}{2}\right)=\)
  1. \(\cot \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\)
  2. \(\tan x\)
  3. \(\cot h x\)
  4. \(\tan \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)\)

Solution

Given, \(y=\log _e \tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{x}{2}\right)\) \(\begin{aligned} & =\log _e\left(\frac{\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)+\tan \frac{x}{2}}{1-\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \tan \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}\right)=\log _e\left(\frac{1+\tan \frac{x}{2}}{1-\tan \frac{x}{2}}\right) \\ \Rightarrow \quad & e^y=\frac{1+\tan \frac{x}{2}}{1-\tan \frac{x}{2}} \Rightarrow \frac{e^y+1}{e^y-1}=\frac{2}{2 \tan \frac{x}{2}} \\ \Rightarrow \quad & \quad \frac{e^y-1}{e^y+1}=\tan \frac{x}{2} \Rightarrow \tan h\left(\frac{y}{2}\right)=\tan \left(\frac{x}{2}\right) \end{aligned}\)
