    Let g(x)=f(x)+f(1−x)g(x) = f(x) + f(1 - x) and f′′(x)>0,x∈(0,1)f^{''}(x) > 0,x \in (0,1). If gg is decreasing in the interval (0,α)(0,\alpha) and increasing in the interval (α,1)(\alpha,1), then tan⁡1(2α)+tan⁡−1(1α)+tan⁡−1(α+1α)\tan^{1}(2\alpha) +\tan^{- 1}\left( \frac{1}{\alpha} \right)+\tan^{- 1}\left( \frac{\alpha + 1}{\alpha} \right) is equal to:

    Let f:R→Rf:R \rightarrow R be a twice differentiable function such that f′′(x)>0f^{''}(x) > 0 for all x∈Rx \in R and f′(a−1)=0f^{'}(a - 1) = 0, where a is real number. Let g(x)=f(tan⁡2x−2tan⁡x+a)g(x) = f\left( \tan^{2}x - 2\tan x + a \right), 0<x<π20 < x <\frac{\pi}{2}. Consider the following two statements : (I) g is increasing in (0,π4)\left( 0,\frac{\pi}{4} \right) (II) g is decreasing in (π4,π2)\left( \frac{\pi}{4},\frac{\pi}{2} \right) Then,
