Answer» (i) Given as tan-1(tan π/3) As tan-1(tan x) = x if x ϵ [-π/2, π/2] On, applying this condition in the given question we get, tan-1(tan π/3) = π/3 (ii) Given as tan-1(tan 6π/7) As we know that tan 6π/7 can be written as (π – π/7) tan(π – π/7) = – tan π/7 As we know that tan-1(tan x) = x if x ϵ [-π/2, π/2] tan-1(tan 6π/7) = – π/7 (iii) Given as tan-1(tan 7π/6) As we know that tan 7π/6 = 1/√3 On, substituting this value in tan-1(tan 7π/6) we get, tan-1 (1/√3) Let tan-1 (1/√3) = y tan y = 1/√3 tan (π/6) = 1/√3 So, the range of the principal value of tan-1 is (-π/2, π/2) and tan (π/6) = 1/√3 So, tan-1(tan 7π/6) = π/6 (iv) Given as tan-1(tan 9π/4) As we know that tan 9π/4 = 1 On, substituting this value in tan-1(tan 9π/4) we get, tan-1 (1) Let tan-1 (1) = y tan y = 1 tan (π/4) = 1 So, the range of the principal value of tan-1 is (-π/2, π/2) and tan (π/4) = 1 So, tan-1(tan 9π/4) = π/4 (v) Given as tan-1(tan 1) we have tan-1(tan x) = x if x ϵ [-π/2, π/2] On, substituting this condition in given question tan-1(tan 1) = 1 |
