Solve for x from the given trigonometric
equation:
arctan(1 x) + arctan(1 + x) = arctan 1/18
Solution:
arctan (1 x) + arctan (1 + x) = arctan 1/8
let
A = arctan (1 x); tan A = 1 x
B = arctan (1 + x); tan B = 1 + x
A + B = arctan 1/18
tan (A + B) = 1/18
tan A + tan B
1 tan A tan B = 1/8
(1 x) + (1 + x)
1 (1 x)(1 + x) = 1/8

2
= 1/8
- (1 x2)

x = 6
