  1. A 2
  2. B 1
  3. C 0
  4. D infinitely many
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\operatorname{Tan}^{-1}\left(\frac{x+2x}{1-x(2x)}\right) = \frac{\pi}{4}\) \(\frac{3x}{1-2x^2} = \operatorname{Tan}\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\) \(\frac{3x}{1-2x^2} = 1\) \(3x = 1-2x^2\) \(2x^2 + 3x - 1 = 0\) \(x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 4(2)(-1)}}{2(2)}\)…
