If ∝ is the only real root of the equation x3+bx2+cx+1=0(b<c) then the value of tan−1α+tan−11α is
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
