Trignometry question
\(\large \color{black }{\begin{align} \tan ^{-1}y=\tan ^{-1}x+\tan ^{-1}\dfrac{2x}{1-x^2}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\) where \(\large \color{black }{\begin{align} \mid x \mid <\dfrac{1}{\sqrt 3}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\) Find the value of \(\Large y\)

\[\huge \bf \tan^{-1}\frac{2x}{1-x^2}=\tan^{-1}\frac{x+x}{1-(x)(x)}\]
so, \[\huge \bf \tan^{-1}\frac{2x}{1-x^2}=\tan^{-1}x+\tan^{-1}x\]
just plug in the question, and solve for y ? @mathmath333
Refer to the Mathematica calculation attached.
its so long and freaky
hint: if I compute the tangent of both sides, I get this: \[\Large y = \frac{{x + \frac{x}{{1 - {x^2}}}}}{{1 - \frac{{{x^2}}}{{1 - {x^2}}}}} = ...?\]
how did u get the above form @Michele_Laino
I have compute the tangent function of both sides of your equation, as I wrote above
computed*
can u send me the link for formula for inverse trig
I have used this formula: \[\begin{gathered} \alpha = \beta + \gamma \hfill \\ \tan \alpha = \tan \left( {\beta + \gamma } \right) = \frac{{\tan \beta + \tan \gamma }}{{1 - \tan \beta \cdot \tan \gamma }} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
where: \[\begin{gathered} \alpha = \arctan y \hfill \\ \beta = \arctan x \hfill \\ \gamma = \arctan \left( {\frac{{2x}}{{1 - {x^2}}}} \right) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]
What does the problem mean by: "Find the values of \(y\) "? It looks like you have to take the tangent of both sides of the equal sign, then apply the angle sum identity and use algebra to simplify. Note that you must make note of the domain originally specified as well. Note: @Michele_Laino had the right idea, but there is a small typo in his expression for \(y\). There should be a \(\color{red}2x^2\) in the denominator. \[ y = \Large \frac{{x + \frac{x}{1 - x^2}}}{{1 - \frac{{{\color{red}2x^2}}}{1 - x^2}}} \] This simplifies to \[y=\frac{x(3-x^2)}{1-3x^3}\] The graph is here: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/lauavrvkdr
Another note: @robtobey 's mathematica sheet graphs the (correct) function but only from \(\color{red}0\) to \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\), but it should be graphed over this interval: \[\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right).\]
