The number of solutions of the equation t a n - 1 x 1 - x 2 + t a n - 1 1 x 3 = 3 π 4 belonging to the…
The number of solutions of the equation belonging to the interval is
Solution
$ x \in (0, 1) \Rightarrow \frac{x}{1-x^2} > 0 ; \frac{1}{x^3} > 0 \Rightarrow \frac{x}{1-x^2} \cdot \frac{1}{x^3} > 1 $
$ \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{1-x^2}\right) + \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{x^3}\right) = \pi + \tan^{-1}\left|\frac{\frac{x}{1-x^2} + \frac{1}{x^3}}{1 - \frac{x}{1-x^2} \cdot \frac{1}{x^3}}\right| = \pi + \tan^{-1}\left|\frac{-1}{x}\right| = \frac{3\pi}{4} $
$ \Rightarrow x = 1 $ (not possible)
