Question
Evaluate:
$\sin\Big(\tan^{-1}\text{x}+\tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)\text{ for }\text{x}<0$

Answer

$\sin\Big(\tan^{-1}\text{x}+\tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)$
$=\sin\Bigg(-\pi+\tan^{-1}\Bigg(\frac{\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}}{\text{x}-\frac{1}{\text{x}}}\Bigg)\Bigg)$
$=\sin\big(-\pi+\tan^{-1}(\infty)\big)$
$=\sin\Big(-\pi+\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)$
$=\sin\Big(-\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)$
$=-1$
