If a, b, g are roots of x3 – mx2 + 3x – m = 0, then general
value of tan–1a + tan–1b + tan–1g is-
A
Depends on m
B
Depends on p
C
np
D
(2n + 1) 2π
Answer
np
Explanation
Solution
Q Sum of roots = tan–1 a + tan–1b + tan–1 g = m
Product of roots = tan–1 a tan–1b tan–l g = m
Using formulae of tan (A + B + C)
tan (tan–1 a + tan–1 b + tan–1 g )
= tan
= tan (1−∑tan−1αtan−1β(m−m)) = 0
Ž tan–1a + tan–1 b + tan–1 g) = np
