Fungrim entry: 503d4d

\operatorname{atan}(x) - \operatorname{atan}(y) = \operatorname{atan}\!\left(\frac{x - y}{1 + x y}\right)

Assumptions:

x \in \mathbb{C} \;\mathbin{\operatorname{and}}\; y \in \mathbb{C} \;\mathbin{\operatorname{and}}\; \left|x\right| < 1 \;\mathbin{\operatorname{and}}\; \left|y\right| < 1

Alternative assumptions:

x \in \mathbb{R} \;\mathbin{\operatorname{and}}\; y \in \mathbb{R} \;\mathbin{\operatorname{and}}\; x y > -1

TeX:

\operatorname{atan}(x) - \operatorname{atan}(y) = \operatorname{atan}\!\left(\frac{x - y}{1 + x y}\right)

x \in \mathbb{C} \;\mathbin{\operatorname{and}}\; y \in \mathbb{C} \;\mathbin{\operatorname{and}}\; \left|x\right| < 1 \;\mathbin{\operatorname{and}}\; \left|y\right| < 1

x \in \mathbb{R} \;\mathbin{\operatorname{and}}\; y \in \mathbb{R} \;\mathbin{\operatorname{and}}\; x y > -1
