<p style="display:inline"><span class="math-tex">\(\frac{\pi }{4}\)</span></p>
<p style="display:inline"><span class="math-tex">\(\frac{\pi }{3}\)</span></p>

Step-by-Step Solution

Key Concept: Convert inverse trigonometric functions to a common tan⁻¹ form and apply the addition formula tan⁻¹x + tan⁻¹y = tan⁻¹((x+y)/(1-xy)) while checking the condition xy < 1.
