Inverse Trigonometric Functions Question 217

Question: If $ \tan (x+y)=33 $ and $ x={{\tan }^{-1}}3, $ then y will be

Options:

A) $ 0.3 $

B) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}(1.3) $

C) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}(0.3) $

D) $ {{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{1}{18} ) $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ x+y={{\tan }^{-1}}33\Rightarrow y={{\tan }^{-1}}33-{{\tan }^{-1}}3 $

$ ={{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{33-3}{1+99}={{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{30}{100} $

Therefore $ y={{\tan }^{-1}}(0.3) $ .
