Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{\sqrt{17}-3}{4}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { } \tan ^{-1} x+\tan ^{-1} 2 x=\frac{\pi}{4} \Rightarrow \tan ^{-1} \frac{x+2 x}{1-2 x^2}=\frac{\pi}{4} \\ & \Rightarrow \frac{x+2 x}{1-2 x^2}=1 \Rightarrow 2 x^2+3 x-1=0 \\ & \Rightarrow x=\frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{17}}{4} \Rightarrow x=\frac{-3+\sqrt{17}}{4}…
