Detailed Solution

 We have, costan-1x=sincot134
Let tan1x=θ and cot134=Φθπ2,π2
 and Φ(0,π)
tanθ=x and cotΦ=34secθ=1+tan2θ and cosecΦ=1+cot2ϕ
 [taking positive square root as θπ2,π2 and Φ(θ,π)
 secθ=1+x2 and cosecϕ=1+342=16+916=2516=54 1cosθ=1+x2 and 1sinϕ=54 cosθ=11+x2 and sinϕ=45 θ=cos111+x2 and ϕ=sin145 tan1x=cos111+x2 and cot134=sin145
On substituting these values in Eq. (i), we get
coscos111+x2=sinsin14511+x2=45 coscos1x=x;x[1,1]  and sinsin1x=x;x[1,1]
On squaring both sides, we get
16x2+1=2516x2=9x2=916
x=±34  [taking square root both sides]
But x=34 does not satisfy the given equation. Hence, the required solution is x=34
