If x < 0, y < 0 such that xy = 1, then write the value of tan–1 x + tan–1 y.

Answer»

Given if x < 0, y < 0 such that xy = 1 

Also given tan-1 x + tan-1

We know that tan-1 x+ tan-1 y = tan-1 \((\frac{x+y}{1-xy})\)

\(=-\pi+tan^{-1}(\frac{x+y}{1-xy})\)

\(=-\pi+tan^{-1}(\frac{x+y}{1-1})\)

= -π + tan-1(∞)

\(=-\pi+\frac{\pi}{2}\)

=\(-\frac{\pi}{2}\)

\(\therefore tan^{-1}x+tan^{-1}y=-\frac{\pi}{2}\)

Evaluate each of the following:(i) tan-1(tan 2)(ii) tan-1(tan 4)(iii) tan-1(tan 12)

Answer»

(i) Given as tan-1(tan 2)

As tan-1(tan x) = x if x ϵ [-π/2, π/2]

Here x = 2 which does not belongs to above range

We have tan (π – θ) = –tan (θ)

So, tan (θ – π) = tan (θ)

tan (2 – π) = tan (2)

Now 2 – π is in the given range

Hence, tan–1 (tan 2) = 2 – π

(ii) Given as tan-1(tan 4)

As tan-1(tan x) = x if x ϵ [-π/2, π/2]

But here x = 4 which does not belongs to above range

We also have tan (π – θ) = –tan (θ)

So, tan (θ – π) = tan (θ)

tan (4 – π) = tan (4)

Now 4 – π is in the given range

Thus, tan–1 (tan 2) = 4 – π

(iii) Given as tan-1(tan 12)

As tan-1(tan x) = x if x ϵ [-π/2, π/2]

Here x = 12 which does not belongs to above range

As we know that tan (nπ – θ) = –tan (θ)

tan (θ – 2nπ) = tan (θ)

Here n = 4

tan(12 – 4π) = tan (12)

Now 12 – 4π is in the given range

Therefore, tan–1(tan 12) = 12 – 4π.

Answer»

sin–1(sin x) = x

Provided x ∈ \([\frac{-\pi}2,\frac{\pi}2]\) ≈ [–1.57,1.57]

And in our equation x is 4 which does not lie in the above range.

We know sin[π – x] = sin[–x]

∴ sin(π – 4) = sin(–4)

Also π–4 belongs in \([\frac{-\pi}2,\frac{\pi}2]\)

∴ sin–1(sin 4) = π – 4

sin-1(sin 3)

As we know that sin-1(sin x) = x with x ∈ [-π/2, π/2] which is approximately equal to [-1.57, 1.57]

But here x = 3, which does not lie on the above range,

So, we know that sin (π – x) = sin (x)

Thus, sin (π – 3) = sin (3)

also π – 3 ∈ [-π/2, π/2]

Sin-1(sin 3) = π – 3

For what value of x, the inequality (π/2) &lt; cos-1 (3x - 1) &lt; π holds?

Answer»

(π/2) < cos-1 (3x -1) < π 

⇒ cos (π/2) < 3x – 1 < cos π 

⇒ 0 < 3x – 1 < -1 

⇒ 1 < 3x < 0 

⇒ (1/3) < x < 0 

This inequality holds only if x < 0 or x > (1/3)

Evaluate the following:cosec-1(cosec \(\frac{6\pi}5\))

Answer»

cosec \((\frac {6\pi}5)\) can be written as cosec (π + \(\frac{\pi}5\))

cosec  (π + \(\frac{\pi}5\)) = - cosec\((\frac \pi 5)\)

Also,

–cosec(θ) = cosec(–θ)

⇒ –cosec\((\frac{\pi}5)\)= cosec\((\frac{-\pi}5)\)

Now the question becomes cosec-1(cosec\((\frac{-\pi}5)\))

cosec-1(cosec x) = x

Provided x ∈ \([\frac{-\pi}2,\frac{\pi}2]\) - {0}

∴ we can write cosec –1(cosec\((\frac{-\pi}5)\)) = \(\frac{-\pi}5.\)

Evaluate each of the following:tan-1(tan \(\frac{7\pi}6\))

Answer»

The value of tan\(\frac{7\pi}6\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt3}\)

∴ The question becomes tan–1\((\frac{1}{\sqrt3})\)

Let,

tan–1\((\frac{1}{\sqrt3})\) = y

⇒ tan y =\((\frac{1}{\sqrt3})\)

⇒ tan\((\frac \pi{6})=(\frac{1}{\sqrt3})\)

The range of the principal value of tan–1 is \((\frac{-\pi}2,\frac{\pi}2)\) and tan\((\frac \pi{6})=(\frac{1}{\sqrt3})\).

∴ The value of tan–1(tan\(\frac{7\pi}6\)) is \(\frac{\pi}6\).

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

119983.

Evaluate each of the following:\(sin^{-1}\{(sin\frac{17\pi}8)\}\)

Answer»

As we know sin(–θ) is –sin(θ )

∴ We can write \((sin\frac{-17\pi}8)\) as \(-sin(\frac{17\pi}8)\)

Now \(-sin(\frac{17\pi}8)\) = \(-sin(2\pi+\frac{\pi}8)\)

As we know sin(2π +θ) = sin(θ )

So \(-sin(2\pi+\frac{\pi}8)\) can be written as \(-sin(\frac{\pi}8)\)

And \(-sin(\frac{\pi}8)\) = \(sin(\frac{-\pi}8)\)

As sin–1(sin x) = x

Provided x ∈ \([\frac{-\pi}2,\frac{\pi}2]\)

∴ we can write \(sin^{-1}(sin \frac{-\pi}8)=\frac{-\pi}8\)

Answer»

(c) [-2,-√2] ∪ [√2,2]

f(x) = sin-1 (x2 – 3) 

Domain of sin-1 (x) is [-1, 1] 

⇒ -1 ≤ x2 – 3 ≤ 1 ⇒ 2 ≤ x2 ≤ 4

⇒ √2 ≤ x ≤ 2 ⇒ √2 ≤ |x| ≤ 2

x ∈ [-2,-√2] ∪ [√2,2]

119985.

sin–1(sin x) = x

Provided x ∈\([\frac{-\pi}2,\frac{\pi}2]\)≈ [–1.57,1.57]

And in our equation x is 4 which does not lie in the above range.

We know sin[2nπ – x] = sin[–x]

∴ sin(2nπ – 12) = sin(–12)

Here n = 2

Also 2π–12 belongs in \([\frac{-\pi}2,\frac{\pi}2]\)

∴ sin–1(sin12) = 2π – 12

119986.

Evaluate each of the following:\(sin^{-1}(sin\frac{13\pi}7)\)

Answer»

We can write \((sin\frac{13\pi}7)\) as \(sin(2\pi-\frac\pi{7})\)

As we know sin(2π –θ) = sin(–θ )

So, \(sin(2\pi-\frac\pi{7})\) can be written as \(sin(\frac\pi{7})\)

∴ The equation becomes sin–1\((sin\frac{\pi}7)\)

As sin-1(sin x) = x

Answer»

(i) Given as sin-1(sin π/6)

As we know that the value of sin π/6 is ½

On, substituting these value in sin-1(sin π/6)

We get, sin-1 (1/2)

Let y = sin-1 (1/2)

sin (π/6) = ½

So, the range of principal value of sin-1(-π/2, π/2) and sin (π/6) = ½

So, sin-1(sin π/6) = π/6

(ii) Given as sin-1(sin 7π/6)

We know that sin 7π/6 = – ½

On, substituting these in sin-1(sin 7π/6) we get,

sin-1 (-1/2)

Let y = sin-1 (-1/2)

– sin y = ½

– sin (π/6) = ½

– sin (π/6) = sin (- π/6)

So, the range of principal value of sin-1(-π/2, π/2) and sin (- π/6) = – ½

So, sin-1(sin 7π/6) = – π/6

(iii) Given as sin-1(sin 5π/6)

As we know that the value of sin 5π/6 is ½

Substitute this value in sin-1(sin π/6)

We get, sin-1 (1/2)

Let y = sin-1 (1/2)

sin (π/6) = ½

So, the range of principal value of sin-1(-π/2, π/2) and sin (π/6) = ½

So, sin-1(sin 5π/6) = π/6

(iv) Given as sin-1(sin 13π/7)

The given trigonometry form can be written as sin (2π – π/7)

sin (2π – π/7) can be written as sin (π/7) [since sin (2π – θ) = sin (-θ)]

On, substituting these values in sin-1(sin 13π/7) we get sin-1(sin – π/7)

As sin-1(sin x) = x with x ∈ [-π/2, π/2]

So, sin-1(sin 13π/7) = – π/7

(v) Given as sin-1(sin 17π/8)

Given can be written as sin (2π + π/8)

sin (2π + π/8) can be written as sin (π/8)

On, substituting these values in sin-1(sin 17π/8) we get sin-1(sin π/8)

As sin-1(sin x) = x with x ∈ [-π/2, π/2]

Hence for all values of x in range [0, π] ,the value of 

\(sec^{-1}\left(sec\frac{8\pi}{5}\right)\) is 

⇒ sec x =sec (2π - \(\frac{8\pi}{5}\) ) ( \(\because\)sec ( \(\frac{8\pi}{5}\))= sec (2π -  \(\frac{2\pi}{5}\)) ) 

⇒ sec x =sec ( \(\frac{2\pi}{5}\)) ( \(\because\)sec (2π - θ)= sec θ) 

⇒ x= \(\frac{2\pi}{5}\)

Evaluate:cot-1(cot \(\frac{4\pi}3\))

Answer»

cot \(\frac{4\pi}3\) can be written as cot\((\pi+\frac{\pi}3)\)

We know cot(π + θ) = cot (θ)

∴  cot\((\pi+\frac{\pi}3)\) = cot \((\frac{\pi}3)\)

Now the question becomes cot-1(cot \(\frac{\pi}3\))

cot-1(cot x) = x

Provided x ∈ (0, π)

∴ cot–1(cot \(\frac{4\pi}3\)) = \(\frac{\pi}3.\)
