Solution

Given, tan -1 [1+x2+1x21+x21x2]\left[ {{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} + \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} } \over {\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} - \sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}} \right] Let x 2 = cos θ\theta = tan -1 [1+cosθ+1cosθ1+cosθ1cosθ]\left[ {{{\sqrt {1 + \cos \theta } + \sqrt {1 - \cos \theta } } \over {\sqrt {1 + \cos \theta } - \sqrt {1 - \cos \theta } }}} \right] = tan -1 [2cos2θ2+2sin2θ22cos2θ22sin2θ2]\left[ {{{\sqrt {2{{\cos }^2}{\theta \over 2}} + \sqrt {2{{\sin }^2}{\theta \over 2}} } \over {\sqrt {2{{\cos }^2}{\theta \over 2}} - \sqrt {2{{\sin }^2}{\theta \over 2}} }}} \right] = tan -1 [2cosθ2+2sinθ22cosθ22sinθ2]\left[ {{{\sqrt 2 \cos {\theta \over 2} + \sqrt 2 \sin {\theta \over 2}} \over {\sqrt 2 \cos {\theta \over 2} - \sqrt 2 \sin {\theta \over 2}}}} \right] = tan -1 [cosθ2+sinθ2cosθ2sinθ2]\left[ {{{\cos {\theta \over 2} + \sin {\theta \over 2}} \over {\cos {\theta \over 2} - \sin {\theta \over 2}}}} \right] = tan -1 [1+tanθ21tanθ2]\left[ {{{1 + \tan {\theta \over 2}} \over {1 - \tan {\theta \over 2}}}} \right] = tan -1 [tanπ4+tanθ21tanπ4+tanθ2]\left[ {{{\tan {\pi \over 4} + \tan {\theta \over 2}} \over {1 - \tan {\pi \over 4} + \tan {\theta \over 2}}}} \right] = tan -1 (tan(π4+θ2))\left( {\tan \left( {{\pi \over 4} + {\theta \over 2}} \right)} \right) = π4+θ2{\pi \over 4} + {\theta \over 2} = π4+12{\pi \over 4} + {1 \over 2} cos -1 x 2
