arctan(1/4 x)-pi-arctan(x/(100))=-pi

Solution

arctan (\frac{1}{4} x) - π - arctan (\frac{x}{100}) = - π

Solution

x = 0

Solution steps

arctan (\frac{1}{4} x) - π - arctan (\frac{x}{100}) = - π

Rewrite using trig identities

arctan (\frac{1}{4} x) - π - arctan (\frac{x}{100})

Use the Sum to Product identity:

arctan (s) - arctan (t) = arctan (\frac{s - t}{1 + s t})

= - π + arctan (\frac{\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{x}{100}}{1 + \frac{1}{4} x \frac{x}{100}})

- π + arctan (\frac{\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{x}{100}}{1 + \frac{1}{4} x \frac{x}{100}}) = - π

Add

π

to both sides

- π + arctan (\frac{\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{x}{100}}{1 + \frac{1}{4} x \frac{x}{100}}) + π = - π + π

Simplify

arctan (\frac{\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{x}{100}}{1 + \frac{1}{4} x \frac{x}{100}}) = 0

Apply trig inverse properties

arctan (\frac{\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{x}{100}}{1 + \frac{1}{4} x \frac{x}{100}}) = 0

arctan (x) = a \Rightarrow x = tan (a)

\frac{\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{x}{100}}{1 + \frac{1}{4} x \frac{x}{100}} = tan (0)

tan (0) = 0

\frac{\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{x}{100}}{1 + \frac{1}{4} x \frac{x}{100}} = 0

\frac{\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{x}{100}}{1 + \frac{1}{4} x \frac{x}{100}} = 0

Solve

\frac{\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{x}{100}}{1 + \frac{1}{4} x \frac{x}{100}} = 0 : x = 0

\frac{\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{x}{100}}{1 + \frac{1}{4} x \frac{x}{100}} = 0

Simplify

\frac{\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{x}{100}}{1 + \frac{1}{4} x \frac{x}{100}} : \frac{96 x}{400 + x ^{2}}

\frac{\frac{1}{4} x - \frac{x}{100}}{1 + \frac{1}{4} x \frac{x}{100}}

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

100

For

\frac{x}{4} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

25

\frac{x}{4} = \frac{x \cdot 25}{4 \cdot 25} = \frac{x \cdot 25}{100}

= \frac{x \cdot 25}{100} - \frac{x}{100}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{x \cdot 25 - x}{100}

Add similar elements:

25 x - x = 24 x

= \frac{24 x}{100}

Cancel the common factor:

4

= \frac{6 x}{25}

= \frac{\frac{6 x}{25}}{1 + \frac{x ^{2}}{400}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{\frac{b}{c}}{a} = \frac{b}{c \cdot a}

= \frac{6 x}{25 ( 1 + \frac{x ^{2}}{400} )}

Join

1 + \frac{x ^{2}}{400} : \frac{400 + x ^{2}}{400}

1 + \frac{x ^{2}}{400}

Convert element to fraction:

1 = \frac{1 \cdot 400}{400}

= \frac{1 \cdot 400}{400} + \frac{x ^{2}}{400}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{1 \cdot 400 + x ^{2}}{400}

Multiply the numbers:

1 \cdot 400 = 400

= \frac{400 + x ^{2}}{400}

= \frac{6 x}{25 \cdot \frac{x ^{2} + 400}{400}}

Multiply

25 \cdot \frac{400 + x ^{2}}{400} : \frac{400 + x ^{2}}{16}

25 \cdot \frac{400 + x ^{2}}{400}

Multiply fractions:

a \cdot \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \cdot b}{c}

= \frac{( 400 + x ^{2} ) \cdot 25}{400}

Cancel the common factor:

25

= \frac{400 + x ^{2}}{16}

= \frac{6 x}{\frac{400 + x ^{2}}{16}}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{\frac{b}{c}} = \frac{a \cdot c}{b}

= \frac{6 x \cdot 16}{400 + x ^{2}}

Multiply the numbers:

6 \cdot 16 = 96

= \frac{96 x}{400 + x ^{2}}

\frac{96 x}{400 + x ^{2}} = 0

\frac{f ( x )}{g ( x )} = 0 \Rightarrow f (x) = 0

96 x = 0

Divide both sides by

96

96 x = 0

Divide both sides by

96

\frac{96 x}{96} = \frac{0}{96}

x = 0

x = 0
