Write the value of tan–1(√3 ) – cot–1(–√3 ).[CBSE 2018]
To Find: tan–1(√3 ) – cot–1(–√3 )
Formula Used: Principal value for tan θ is (0, π) and for cot θ is π
Now, ![]()
and,![]()
As the value for cot does not lie in principal interval, we will use the formula,
cot-1 (-θ) = π - θ
Therefore,
Thus, ![]()
