Correct answer: 1

  1. Let Sn=∑r=1ntan⁡−1(11+r+r2).S_n=\sum_{r=1}^n \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{1+r+r^2}\right).Sn​=∑r=1n​tan−1(1+r+r21​). We need to find lim⁡n→∞tan⁡(Sn).\lim_{n\to\infty} \tan(S_n).limn→∞​tan(Sn​).

  2. Simplify the term inside the sum using the identity tan⁡−1a−tan⁡−1b=tan⁡−1(a−b1+ab)\tan^{-1}a-\tan^{-1}b=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{a-b}{1+ab}\right)tan−1a−tan−1b=tan−1(1+aba−b​) when the angles lie in the principal range.

Take a=r+1,b=r.a=r+1,\qquad b=r.a=r+1,b=r. Then tan⁡−1(r+1)−tan⁡−1(r)=tan⁡−1((r+1)−r1+r(r+1))=tan⁡−1(11+r+r2).\tan^{-1}(r+1)-\tan^{-1}(r)=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{(r+1)-r}{1+r(r+1)}\right)=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{1+r+r^2}\right).tan−1(r+1)−tan−1(r)=tan−1(1+r(r+1)(r+1)−r​)=tan−1(1+r+r21​). So each term becomes tan⁡−1(11+r+r2)=tan⁡−1(r+1)−tan⁡−1(r).\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{1+r+r^2}\right)=\tan^{-1}(r+1)-\tan^{-1}(r).tan−1(1+r+r21​)=tan−1(r+1)−tan−1(r).

  1. Therefore the sum telescopes: Sn=∑r=1n(tan⁡−1(r+1)−tan⁡−1(r)).S_n=\sum_{r=1}^n \big(\tan^{-1}(r+1)-\tan^{-1}(r)\big).Sn​=∑r=1n​(tan−1(r+1)−tan−1(r)). Hence Sn=tan⁡−1(n+1)−tan⁡−1(1).S_n=\tan^{-1}(n+1)-\tan^{-1}(1).Sn​=tan−1(n+1)−tan−1(1).

  2. Now compute tan⁡(Sn)\tan(S_n)tan(Sn​): tan⁡(Sn)=tan⁡(tan⁡−1(n+1)−tan⁡−1(1)).\tan(S_n)=\tan\big(\tan^{-1}(n+1)-\tan^{-1}(1)\big).tan(Sn​)=tan(tan−1(n+1)−tan−1(1)). Using tan⁡(A−B)=tan⁡A−tan⁡B1+tan⁡Atan⁡B,\tan(A-B)=\frac{\tan A-\tan B}{1+\tan A\tan B},tan(A−B)=1+tanAtanBtanA−tanB​, we get tan⁡(Sn)=(n+1)−11+(n+1)(1)=nn+2.\tan(S_n)=\frac{(n+1)-1}{1+(n+1)(1)}=\frac{n}{n+2}.tan(Sn​)=1+(n+1)(1)(n+1)−1​=n+2n​.

  3. Take the limit: lim⁡n→∞tan⁡(Sn)=lim⁡n→∞nn+2=1.\lim_{n\to\infty} \tan(S_n)=\lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{n}{n+2}=1.limn→∞​tan(Sn​)=limn→∞​n+2n​=1.

Therefore, the required integer is 1.\boxed{1}.1​.
