Question
Mathematics Question on Properties of Inverse Trigonometric Functions
The value of cot(n=1∑19cot−1(1+p=1∑n2p)) is :
A
2322
B
2223
C
1921
D
2119
Answer
1921
Explanation
Solution
cot(∑n=119cot−1(1+n(n+1)))
cot(∑n=119cot−1(n2+n+1))=cot(∑n=119tan−11+n(n+1)1)
∑n=119(tan−1(n+1)−tan−1n)
cot(tan−120−tan−11)=cotβ−cotAcotAcotβ+1
(Where tanA=20,tanB=1 )
1−2011(201)+1=1921
