Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 10. $-\frac{7}{17}$

Solution:

  1. $\tan 2 \tan ^{-1} \frac{1}{5}-\frac{\pi}{4}=\tan \tan ^{-1} \frac{2 \cdot \frac{1}{5}}{1-\frac{1}{25}}-\frac{\pi}{4}$ $=\tan \tan ^{-1} \frac{5}{12}-\frac{\pi}{4}$

$$ =\frac{\tan \tan ^{-1} \frac{5}{12}-\tan \frac{\pi}{4}}{1+\tan \tan ^{-1} \frac{5}{12} \quad \tan \frac{\pi}{4}} $$

$$ =\frac{\frac{5}{12}-1}{1+\frac{5}{12} \cdot 1}=-\frac{7}{17} $$
