Examining the numerators (7, 19, 39, 67, dots$7, 19, 39, 67, \dots$): The differences between consecutive terms are 12, 20, 28, dots$12, 20, 28, \dots$, which forms an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 8$8$. Thus, the general term for the sequence in the numerator can be found using difference methods: textNumerator = 4n^2 + 3$$\text{Numerator } = 4n^2 + 3$$ Therefore, the n$n$-th term T_n$T_n$ is: T_n = cot^-1left(frac4n^2 + 34right) = tan^-1left(frac44n^2 + 3 ight)$$T_n = \cot^{-1}\left(\frac{4n^2 + 3}{4}\right) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{4n^2 + 3} ight)$$ ### Step 1: Rewriting the general term for telescoping sum Divide the numerator and denominator inside the argument by 4$4$: T_n = tan^-1left(frac1n^2 + frac34right) = tan^-1left(frac11 + left(n^2 - frac14right)right)$$T_n = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{n^2 + \frac{3}{4}}\right) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{1 + \left(n^2 - \frac{1}{4}\right)}\right)$$ Factorize n^2 - frac14$n^2 - \frac{1}{4}$ as a difference of squares: T_n = tan^-1left(fracleft(n + frac12right) - left(n - frac12right)1 + left(n + frac12right)left(n - frac12right)right)$$T_n = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\left(n + \frac{1}{2}\right) - \left(n - \frac{1}{2}\right)}{1 + \left(n + \frac{1}{2}\right)\left(n - \frac{1}{2}\right)}\right)$$ Using the difference formula for tan^-1$\tan^{-1}$: T_n = tan^-1left(n + frac12right) - tan^-1left(n - frac12 ight)$$T_n = \tan^{-1}\left(n + \frac{1}{2}\right) - \tan^{-1}\left(n - \frac{1}{2} ight)$$ ### Step 2: Telescoping summation Expanding the sum up to n$n$ terms: S_n = sum_k=1^n T_k = left[tan^-1left(frac32right) - tan^-1left(frac12right)right] + left[tan^-1left(frac52right) - tan^-1left(frac32right)right] + dots + left[tan^-1left(n + frac12 ight) - tan^-1left(n - frac12 ight)right]$$S_n = \sum_{k=1}^n T_k = \left[\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) - \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\right] + \left[\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{2}\right) - \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)\right] + \dots + \left[\tan^{-1}\left(n + \frac{1}{2} ight) - \tan^{-1}\left(n - \frac{1}{2} ight)\right]$$ All intermediate terms cancel out, leaving: S_n = tan^-1left(n + frac12 ight) - tan^-1left(frac12 ight)$$S_n = \tan^{-1}\left(n + \frac{1}{2} ight) - \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2} ight)$$ ### Step 3: Infinite limit evaluation Taking the limit as n to infty$n \to \infty$: S_infty = lim_n to infty left[tan^-1left(n + frac12 ight) - tan^-1left(frac12 ight)right] = fracpi2 - tan^-1left(frac12 ight)$$S_\infty = \lim_{n \to \infty} \left[\tan^{-1}\left(n + \frac{1}{2} ight) - \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2} ight)\right] = \frac{\pi}{2} - \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2} ight)$$ ### Pattern Recognition Whenever you see an infinite series involving cot^-1$\cot^{-1}$ or \tan^{-1}, try to rearrange the denominator into the form 1 + xy$1 + xy$ and check if the numerator matches x - y$x - y$ to set up a standard telescoping structure. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Mathematics: Inverse Trigonometric Functions Class 11 Mathematics: Sequences and Series

Therefore, sin^-1left(sinleft(theta + fracpi6right)right) = theta + fracpi6$\sin^{-1}\left(\sin\left(\theta + \frac{\pi}{6}\right)\right) = \theta + \frac{\pi}{6}$. ### Step 2: Final Form Substituting back theta = sin^-1x$\theta = \sin^{-1}x$: fracpi6 + sin^-1x$$\frac{\pi}{6} + \sin^{-1}x$$ ### Pattern Recognition Always check primary interval bounds when stripping inverse operators.
