Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given,

tan⁡−1y=tan⁡−1x+tan⁡−1(2x1−x2){\tan ^{ - 1}}y = {\tan ^{ - 1}}x + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{2x} \over {1 - {x^2}}}} \right)

⇒tan⁡−1y=tan⁡−1(x+2x1−x21−x(2x1−x2))\Rightarrow {\tan ^{ - 1}}y = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{x + {{2x} \over {1 - {x^2}}}} \over {1 - x\left( {{{2x} \over {1 - {x^2}}}} \right)}}} \right)

                          =tan⁡−1(x−x3+2x1−x2−2x2)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{x - {x^3} + 2x} \over {1 - {x^2} - 2{x^2}}}} \right)

∴\therefore    \,\,\, tan⁡−1y=tan⁡−1(3x−x21−3x2){\tan ^{ - 1}}y = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{3x - {x^2}} \over {1 - 3{x^2}}}} \right)

⇒y=3x−x31−3x2\Rightarrow y = {{3x - {x^3}} \over {1 - 3{x^2}}}
