#C=tan^-1 1#

Explanation:

Your question is unclear, which strange notation. I, therefore, interpret your question as follows, "If in #Delta abc#
#A=tan^-1 2# and #B=tan^-1 3# then what is #C#?"

It is also unclear if you want #C# in degrees, radians or expressed as #tan^-1#, but as the two other angles are expressed as #tan^-1#, I take it #C# should be expressed the same way. (Incidentally this shows that it is important to use correct notation, otherwise you may easily get a different answer than what you actually want.)

As a help it can be useful to create a figure first:

If so, I would go via rad to degrees and back to tan again, in the following fashioon:

#tan^-1 2# = 63.435º (see https://www.rapidtables.com/math/trigonometry/arctan.html#table) #tan^-1 3# = 71.565°

Now there are in all 180° in a triangle, so
C= 180° - (63.435º+71.565°) = 45°

As tan 45° = 1 (a well known fact, but if you are unsure, Google "tan 45 degrees", and you get the answer straight away),
your answer should be #C=tan^-1 1#

# C=pi/4=45^@#.

Explanation:

I hope, the Question is to find #C# of a #DeltaABC#, given that,

#A=tan^-1 2, B=tan^-1 3, i.e., tanA=2, tanB=3#.

We know that, in #DeltaABC, A+B+C=pi#.

#:. A+B=pi-C#.

#:. tan(A+B)=tan(pi-C)#.

#:. (tanA+tanB)/(1-tanAtanB)=-tanC#.

#:. (2+3)/(1-2xx3)=-tanC#.

#:. tanC=5/-5=-1, or, tanC=1#.

#:. C=pi/4=45^@#.
