Question

If ∝ is the only real root of the equation x3+bx2+cx+1=0(b<c) then the value of tan1α+tan11α is

Moderate
Solution

At x=-1, the expression x3+bx2+cx+1=b-c<0  b<c At x=0, the expression x3+bx2+cx+1=1>0 the equation x3+bx2+cx+1==0 must have a real root between -1 and 0 the only real root α of the equation must lie between -1 and 0 α<0 tan-11α=-π+cot-1α tan-1α+tan-11α=tan-1α-π+cot-1α                                       =-π+π2                                        =-π2                                         = -1.57
