Find the principal values of the following (i) `sin^(-1) (sin 1)` (ii) `sin^(-1) (sin 2)` (iii) `sin^(-1) (sin 10)` (iv) `sin^(-1) (sin 20)` (v) `sin^(-1) (sin 100)` (vi) `sin^(-1) (sin. (29 pi)/(5))`

Answer» (i) Since `1 in [-pi//2, pi//2], sin^(-1) (sin 1) = 1`
(ii) Since `2 in [-pi//2, pi//2], sin^(-1) (sin 2) != 2`
`:. Sin^(-1) (sin 2) = sin^(-1) (sin (pi) -2))`
`= pi - 2 " as " (pi - 2) in [-pi//2, pi//2]`
(iii) `sin^(-1) (sin 10) = sin^(-1) (sin (3 pi - 10))`
`= 3 pi - 10 " as " (3 pi - 10) in [-pi//2, pi//2]`
(iv) `sin^(-1) (sin (-20)) = sin^(-1) (sin (6 pi - 20))`
(v) `sin^(-1) (sin 100) = sin^(-1) (sin (100 - 32 pi))`
`= 100 - 32 pi " as " (100 - 32 pi) in [-pi//2, pi//2]`
(vi) `sin^(-1) (sin.(29 pi)/(5)) = sin^(-1) (sin(6 pi - (pi)/(5)))`
`= sin^(-1) (sin(-(pi)/(5)))`
`= -(pi)/(5)`
554.

The number of values of `x`for which `sin^(-1)(x^2-(x^4)/3+(x^6)/9)+cos^(-1)(x^4-(x^8)/3+(x^(12))/9ddot)=pi/2,`where `0lt=|x|

Answer» `sin^-1(x^2-x^4/3+x^6/9+...)+cos^-1(x^4-x^8/3+x^12/9+...) = pi/2`
We know, `sin^-1y+cos^-1y = pi/2`
It means,
`x^2-x^4/3+x^6/9+... =x^4-x^8/3+x^12/9+...`
these are two G.P.s with common ratio `-x^2/3 and -x^4/3.`
`x^2/(1+x^2/3) = x^4/(1+x^4/3)->(1)`
`=>3/(3+x^2) = (3x^2)/(3+x^4)`
`=>9+3x^4 = 9x^2+3x^4`
`=>x = +-1`
`x = 0` also is a solution for `(1)`.
So there are `3` solutions available for the given equation.

`rArr x in (-oo, -1) uu (sqrt2, oo)`
557.

Find the range of `f(x) = (sin^(-1) x)^(2) + 2pi cos^(-1) x + pi^(2)`

Answer» `f(x) = (sin^(-1) x)^(2) + 2pi ((pi)/(2) - sin^(-1) x) + pi^(2)`
`= (sin^(-1) x)^(2) + pi^(2) - 2pi sin^(-1) x + pi^(2)`
`= (sin^(-1) x - pi)^(2) + pi^(2)`
`f_("min") = ((pi)/(2) - pi)^(2) + pi^(2) = (pi^(2))/(4) + pi^(2) = (5 pi^(2))/(4)`
`f_("max") = (-(pi)/(2) -pi)^(2) + pi^(2) = (9pi^(2))/(4) + pi^(2) = (13 pi^(2))/(4)`
Therefore, range is `[(5 pi^(2))/(4), (13 pi^(2))/(4)]`
558.

Find the principal value of the following (i) `cos^(-1) (cos 3)` (ii) `cos^(-1) (cos 4)` (iii) `cos^(-1) (cos 15)` (iv) `cos^(-1) (cos 30)` (v) `cos^(-1) (cos 50)` (vi) `cos^(-1) (cos.(48pi)/(7))`

Answer» (i) Since `3 in [0, pi], cos^(-1) (cos 3) = 3`
(ii) Since `4 !in [0, pi], cos^(-1) (cos 4) != 4`
`:. Cos^(-1) (cos 4) = 2pi - 4`
(iii) `cos^(-1) (cos 15) = 15 - 4 pi`
(iv) `cos^(-1) (cos 30) = 10 pi - 30`
(v) `cos^(-1) (cos 50) = 16 pi - 50`
(vi) `cos^(-1) (cos.(48pi)/(7)) = cos^(-1) (cos(6pi + (6pi)/(7)))`
`= cos^(-1) (cos.(6pi)/(7)) = (6pi)/(7)`
559.

The number of values of `x`for which `sin^(-1)(x^2-(x^4)/3+(x^6)/9)+cos^(-1)(x^4-((x^8)/3+(x^(12))/9ddot)=pi/2,`where `0lt=|x|

Answer» Correct Answer - 3
`sin^(-1) (x^(2) -- (x^(4))/(3) + (x^(6))/(9) -...) + cos^(-1) (x^(4) -(x^(8))/(3) + (x^(12))/(9) ...) = (pi)/(2)`
`rArr (x^(2) - (x^(4))/(3) + (x^(6))/(9)..) = (x^(4) - (x^(8))/(3) + (x^(12))/(9)...)`
or `(x^(2))/(1 + (x^(2))/(3)) = (x^(4))/(1 + (x^(4))/(3))`
or `(3)/(3 + x^(2)) = (3x^(2))/(3 + x^(4)) " or "x = 0`

If `sin^(-1)x+sin^(-1)y=(2pi)/3` and `cos^(-1)x-cos^(-1)y=-pi/3` then the number of values of `(x,y)` is

Answer» Correct Answer - `x = (1)/(2), y = 1`
Given equation are
`sin^(-1) x + sin^(-1) y = (2pi)/(3)`
`cos^(-1) x - cos^(-1) y = (pi)/(3)`
`rArr ((pi)/(2) - sin^(-1) x) - ((pi)/(2) - sin^(-1) y) = (pi)/(3)`
Let `sin^(-1) x = A`
`sin^(-1) y = B`
Then Eqs. (i) and (ii) become
`A + B = (2pi)/(3)`
`A - B = -(pi)/(3)`
Solving Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get
`A = (pi)/(6), B = (pi)/(2)`
`rArr sin^(-1) x = (pi)/(6), sin^(-1) y = (pi)/(2)`
`rArr x = (1)/(2) and y = 1`
561.

Find the principal values of the following (i) `tan^(-1) (tan. (2pi)/(3))` (ii) `tan^(-1) (tan (-6))`

Answer» (i) `tan^(-1) (tan.(2pi)/(3)) != (2pi)/(3), " as " (2pi)/(3)` does not lie between `- (pi)/(2) and (pi)/(2)`
Now, `tan^(-1) (tan.(2pi)/(3)) = tan^(-1) (tan(pi - (pi)/(3)))`
`= tan^(-1) (- tan. (pi)/(3))`
`= tan^(-1) (tan(-(pi)/(3)))`
`= -(pi)/(3)`
(ii) `tan^(-1) (tan(-6)) = tan^(-1) (tan(2 pi -6))`
`= 2pi - 6 " as " (2pi - 6) in (-pi//2, pi//2)`
562.

563.

The number of integral values of x satisfying the equation `tan^(-1) (3x) + tan^(-1) (5x) = tan^(-1) (7x) + tan^(-1) (2x)` is ____

Answer» Correct Answer - 1
`tan^(-1) (3x) + tan^(-1) (5x) = tan^(-1) (7x) + tan^(-1) (2x)`
or `tan^(-1) (3x) - tan^(-1) (2x) = tan^(-1) (7x) - tan^(-1) (5x)`
or `tan^(-1) ((3x -2x)/(1 + 6x^(2))) = tan^(-1) ((7x -5x)/(1 + 35x^(2)))`
or `(x)/(1 + 6x^(2)) = (2x)/(1 + 25 x^(2))`
`rArr x = 0 " or " 1 + 35x^(2) = 2 + 12 x^(2)`
`rArr x = 0 " or " x = (1)/(sqrt23) "or " -(1)/(sqrt23)`
564.

The value of `a`for which `a x^2+sin^(-1)(x^2-2x+2)+cos^(-1)(x^2-2x+2)=1`has a real solution is`pi/2`(b) `-pi/2`(c) `2/pi`(d) `-2/pi`A. `(pi)/(2)`B. `-(pi)/(2)`C. `(2)/(pi)`D. `-(2)/(pi)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The given equation is `ax^(2) + sin^(-1) ((x -1)^(2)+1) + cos^(-1) ((x -1)^(2) + 1) = 0`
Now, `-1 le (x -1)^(2) + 1 le 1 rArr x = 1`
So, we have `a + (pi)/(2) = 0 " or " a = -(pi)/(2)`
565.

If `2^2pi//sin^((-1)x)-2(a+2)^pi//sin^((-1)x)+8a

Answer» Correct Answer - D
`2^(2pi//sin^(-1)x) - 2 (a + 2) 2^(pi//sin^(-1) x) + 8a lt 0`
`(2^(pi//sin^(-1)x) - 4) (2^(pi//sin^(-1)x) - 2a) lt 0`
Now `2^(pi//sin^(-1) x) in (0, (1)/(4)] uu [4, oo)`
For `2^(pi//sin^(-1)x) in (0, (1)/(4)]`. We have
`(2^(pi//sin^(-1)x) -4) lt 0`
`:. 2^(pi//sin^(-1)x) -2a gt 0`
or `2a lt (1)/(4)`
or `0 le a (1)/(8)`
Similarly, for `2^(pi//sin^(-1) x) in [4, oo), a gt 2`, we get
So, `a in [0, (1)/(8)) uu (2, oo)`
566.

The sum `tan^(-1).(1)/(1+x+x^2)+tan^(-1).(1/(3+3x+x^2))+tan^(-1).(1/(7+5x+x^2))+tan^(-1)(1/(13+7x+x^2))` of first 100 terms of the series isA. `tan^(-1) (100/(1+x^2+100x))`B. `tan^(-1)((2x-100)/(1-x^2-100x))`C. `tan^(-1)(100/(1+x^2-100x))`D. `tan^(-1)((2x+100)/(1+x^2-100x))`

`rarr x^(2)-lambdax+(pi-4)gt0` for all `x in R`
`rarr lambda^(2)-4(pi-4)lt0rarr0lambda^(2)+16-4pi lt 0`
But `lambda^(2)+16-4pigt0`
But `lambda^(2)+16-4pigt0 for all lambda in R`

Answer» `sin^(-1) (x^(2) + 2x + 2) + tan^(-1) (x^(2) - 3x - k^(2)) gt (pi)/(2)`
`rArr sin^(-1) ((x + 1)^(2) + 1) + tan^(-1) (x^(2) - 3x - k^(2) gt (pi)/(2)`
Now, `sin^(-1) ((x + 1)^(2) + 1)` is defined if `(x + 1)^(2) = 0 " or " x = -1` Putting `x = -1`, we get

Prove that `3 tan^(-1) x= {(tan^(-1) ((3x - x^(3))/(1 - 3x^(2))),"if " -(1)/(sqrt3) lt x lt (1)/(sqrt3)),(pi + tan^(-1) ((3x - x^(3))/(1 - 3x^(2))),"if " x gt (1)/(sqrt3)),(-pi + tan^(-1) ((3x - x^(3))/(1 - 3x^(2))),"if " x lt - (1)/(sqrt3)):}`

Answer» Let `x = tan theta`, where `theta in (-pi//2, pi//2)`
`:. Tan^(-1). (3 x -x^(3))/(1 - 3x^(2)) = tan^(-1).(3 tan theta - tan^(3) theta)/(1 -3 tan^(2) theta)`

Now if `-(pi)/(2) lt 3 theta lt (pi)/(2)`
`-(pi)/(2) lt 3 tan^(-1) x lt (pi)/(2)`
`rArr -(pi)/(6) lt tan^(-1) x lt (pi)/(6)`
`rArr -(1)/(sqrt3) lt x lt (1)/(sqrt3)`
Similarly, from `(pi)/(2) lt 3 theta lt (3pi)/(2)`, we get `x gt (1)/(sqrt3)`
And from `-(3pi)/(2) lt 3 theta lt -(pi)/(2)`, we get `x lt -(1)/(sqrt3)`
Thus, tan^(-1).(3x -x^(3))/(1 - 3x^(2)) = {(3 tan^(-1) x,"if " -(1)/(sqrt3) lt x lt (1)/(sqrt3)),(3 tan^(-1) x - pi," if " (1)/(sqrt3) lt x lt oo),(3 tan^(-1) x + pi,"if " -oo lt x lt -(1)/(sqrt3)):}`

Prove that `cot(pi/4-2cot^(- 1)3)=7`

Answer» Let `cot^(-1)3=theta`
the equation reduces to=>`Cot(pi/4-2theta)=1/(tan(pi/4-2theta))=(1+tan2theta)/(1-tan2theta)`
since `cottheta=3 ` then `tantheta=1/3`
`tan2theta=(2tantheta)/(1-tan^2(theta))`=> substituting value we get,
`tan2theta=3/4`
thus`(1+tan2theta)/(1-tan2theta)=7`
hence proved

If `a_1, a_2,a_3, ,a_n`is an A.P. with common difference `d ,`then prove that`"tan"[tan^(-1)(d/(1+a_1a_2))+tan^(-1)(d/(1+a_2a_3))+tan^(-1)(d/(1+a_(n-1)a_n))]=((n-1)d)/(1+a_1a_n)`

Answer» As `a_1,a_2,a_3...a_n` are in A.P.,
So, the left hand side can be written as,
`L.H.S. = tan[tan^-1((a_2-a_1)/(1+a_1a_2))+tan^-1((a_3-a_2)/(1+a_2a_3))+...+tan^-1((a_n-a_(n-1))/(1+a_(n-1)a_n))]`
`=tan[tan^-1a_2-tan^-1a_1+tan^-1a_3-tan^-1a_2+tan^-1a_4-tan^-1a_3...+tan^-1a_n-tan^-1a_(n-1)]`
`=tan(tan^-1(a_n) - tan^-1(a_1))`
`=tan(tan^-1((a_n-a_1)/(1+a_1a_n)))`
As, `a_n - a_1 = (n-1)*d`
So, it becomes,
`=tan(tan^-1(((n-1)d)/(1+a_1a_n)))`
`=((n-1)d)/(1+a_1a_n) = R.H.S.`
