Question
Prove that: $\tan^{-1}\frac{2\text{a}\text{b}}{\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2}+\tan^{-1}\frac{2\text{xy}}{\text{x}^2-\text{y}^2}=\tan^{-1}\frac{2\alpha\beta}{\alpha^2-\beta^2},$where $\alpha=\text{ax}-\text{by}$ and $\beta=\text{ay}+\text{bx}.$

Answer

$\tan^{-1}\frac{2\text{a}\text{b}}{\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2}+\tan^{-1}\frac{2\text{xy}}{\text{x}^2-\text{y}^2}=\tan^{-1}\frac{2\alpha\beta}{\alpha^2-\beta^2}$ as $\alpha=\text{ax}-\text{by},\beta=\text{ay}+\text{bx}$
$\text{L.H.S}=\tan^{-1}\frac{2\text{a}\text{b}}{\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2}+\tan^{-1}\frac{2\text{xy}}{\text{x}^2-\text{y}^2}$
$=\tan^{-1}\begin{bmatrix}\frac{\frac{2\text{a}\text{b}}{\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2}+\frac{2\text{xy}}{\text{x}^2-\text{y}^2}}{1-\Big(\frac{2\text{ab}}{\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2}\Big)\Big(\frac{2\text{xy}}{\text{x}^2-\text{y}^2}\Big)}\end{bmatrix}$ $\Big\{\text{Since},\tan^{-1}\text{x}+\tan^{-1}\text{y}=\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{x}+\text{y}}{1-\text{xy}}\Big\}$
$=\tan^{-1}\begin{bmatrix}\frac{\frac{2\text{a}\text{b}\text{x}^2-2\text{a}\text{b}\text{y}^2+2\text{xy}\text{a}^2-2\text{xyb}^2}{\big(\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2\big)\big(\text{x}^2-\text{y}^2\big)}}{\frac{\text{a}^2\text{x}^2-\text{a}^2\text{y}^2-\text{b}^2\text{y}^2+\text{b}^2\text{y}^2-4\text{abxy}}{\big(\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2\big)\big(\text{x}^2-\text{y}^2\big)}}\end{bmatrix}$
$=\tan^{-1}\Bigg[\frac{2\big(\text{ab}\text{x}^2+\text{xy}\text{a}^2-\text{ab}\text{y}^2-\text{xy}\text{b}^2\big)}{\text{a}^2\text{x}^2+\text{b}^2\text{y}^2-2\text{abxy}-\text{a}^2\text{y}^2-\text{b}^2\text{y}^2-2\text{abxy}} \Bigg]$
$=\tan^{-1}\Bigg[\frac{2\{\text{ax}(\text{bx}+\text{ay})-\text{by}(\text{ay}+\text{bx})\}}{(\text{ax}-\text{by})^2-\big(\text{a}^2\text{y}^2+\text{b}^2\text{x}^2+2\text{abxy}\big)}\Bigg]$
$=\tan^{-1}\Bigg[\frac{2(\text{bx}+\text{ay})(\text{ax}-\text{by})\}}{(\text{ax}-\text{by})^2-(\text{bx}+\text{ay})^2}\Bigg]$
$=\tan^{-1}\Big[\frac{2\alpha\beta}{\alpha^2-\beta^2}\Big]$ $\{\text{Since},\alpha=\text{ax}-\text{by},\beta=\text{ay}+\text{bx}\}$
Hence,
$\tan^{-1}\bigg(\frac{2\text{a}\text{b}}{\text{a}^2-\text{b}^2}\bigg)+\tan^{-1}\bigg(\frac{2\text{xy}}{\text{x}^2-\text{y}^2}\bigg)=\tan^{-1}\bigg(\frac{2\alpha\beta}{\alpha^2-\beta^2}\bigg)$
