Given \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3a^2x -x^3}{a^3 - 3ax^2} \right )

Here we can take x = a\tan \theta \Rightarrow \frac{x}{a} = \tan \theta

So, \theta = \tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{x}{a} \right )  

\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3a^2x -x^3}{a^3 - 3ax^2} \right ) will become;

=\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3a^2a\tan \theta -(a\tan \theta)^3}{a^3 - 3a(a\tan \theta)^2} \right ) = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3a^3\tan \theta -a^3\tan ^3 \theta}{a^3 - 3a^3\tan ^2 \theta} \right )

and as \left [ \because \left(\frac{3\tan \theta -\tan ^3 \theta}{ 1- 3\tan ^2 \theta} \right) =\tan 3\theta \right ];

=3 \theta

=3 \tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{a})

hence the simplest form is 3 \tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{a}).
