Find the maximum value of `(sec^(-1) x) (cosec^(-1) x), x ge 1`

Answer» Correct Answer - `(pi^(2))/(16)`
For `x ge 1, cosec^(-1) x gt 0`
Using A.M. `ge` G.M., we have
`(sec^(-1) x + cosec^(-1) x)/(2) ge sqrt(sec^(-1) x cosec^(-1) x)`
`rArr ((pi//2))/(2) ge sqrt(sec^(-1) x cosec^(-1) x)`
`rArr (pi)/(2) ge sqrt(sec^(-1) x cosec^(-1) x)`
`:. sec^(-1) x cosec^(-1) x le (pi^(2))/(16)`
Thus maximum value of `sec^(-1) x cosec^(-1) x " is " (pi^(2))/(16)`

Let `f(x)=sin^(-1)((2x)/(1+x^(2)))` and `g(x)=cos^(-1)((x^(2)-1)/(x^(2)+1))`. Then tha value of f(10)-g(100) is equal toA. `pi-2(tan^(-1)(10)+tan^(-1)(100))`B. 0C. `2(tan^(-1)(100)-tan^(-1)(10))`D. `2(tan^(-1)(10)-tan^(-1)(100))`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`f(x)=sin^(-1)((2x)/(1+x^(2)))=pi-2 tan^(-1)x`, for `x ge 1`
and `g(x)=cos^(-1)((x^(2)-1)/(x^(2)+1))`
`=pi-cos^(-1)((1-x^(2))/(1+x^(2)))`
`=pi-cos^(-1)((1-x^())/(1+x^(2)))`
`=pi -2 tan^(-1)x`, for `x ge 0`
Now f(10)-g(100)
`=(pi-2tan^(-1)(10))-(pi-2tan^(-1)(100))`
`=2(tan^(-1)(100)-tan^(-1)(10))`

The value of `alpha`such that `sin^(-1)2/(sqrt(5)),sin^(-1)3/(sqrt(10)),sin^(-1)alpha`are the angles of a triangle is`(-1)/(sqrt(2))`(b) `1/2`(c) `1/(sqrt(3))`(d) `1/(sqrt(2))`

Answer» `sin^-1(2/sqrt5) = tan^-1 2`
`sin^-1(3/sqrt10) = tan^-1 3`
`sin^-1(alpha) = tan^-1 (alpha/(sqrt(1-alpha^2)))`
So, given equation becomes,
`tan^-1 2 + tan^-1 3 + tan^-1 (alpha/(sqrt(1-alpha^2))) = pi`
As `2*3 >1`,
`:. tan^-1 2 + tan^-1 3 = pi +tan^-1((2+3)/(1-(2)(3))) = pi+tan^-1(-1) `
So,our equation becomes,
`pi+tan^-1(-1) + tan^-1 (alpha/(sqrt(1-alpha^2))) = pi`
`=>tan^-1 (alpha/(sqrt(1-alpha^2))) = tan^-1(1)`
`=> alpha/(sqrt(1-alpha^2))= 1`
`=>alpha^2 = 1-alpha^2`
`=>alpha = 1/sqrt2`
So, option `d` is the correct option.

`:. 2 tan (alpha + beta) = (2(tan alpha + tan beta))/(1-tan alpha tan beta) = 2[(x + x^(3))/(1 -x^(4))] = (2x)/(1 -x^(2))`
Also, `(2x)/(1 -x^(2)) = (2 tan alpha)/(1 -tan^(2) alpha) = tan 2 alpha = tan (2 tan^(-1) x)`
`= tan (2 ((pi)/(2) - cot^(-1) x))`
`= tan (pi -cot^(-1) x - cot^(-1) x)`
`= tan (cot^(-1) (-x) - cot^(-1) (x))`

If `alpha and beta (alpha gt beta)` are the roots of `x^(2) + kx - 1 =0`, then find the value of `tan^(-1) alpha - tan^(-1) beta`

Answer» Correct Answer - `pi`
We have `alpha beta = -1 and alpha gt beta`
`rArr tan^(-1) alpha gt tan^(-1) beta`
`:. Tan^(-1) alpha - tan^(-1) beta = tan^(-1).(alpha - beta)/(1 + alpha beta)`
`= tan^(-1) oo = (pi)/(2)`

If `x + y + z = xyz and x, y, z gt 0`, then find the value of `tan^(-1) x + tan^(-1) y + tan^(-1) z`

Answer» Correct Answer - `pi`
`xy = 1 _ (x)/(z) + (y)/(z) gt 1`
`rArr tan^(-1) x + tan^(-1) y + tan^(-1) z`
`= pi + tan^(-1) [(x + y)/(1 - xy)] + tan^-(1) z`
`= pi + tan^(-1) [(xyz -z)/(1 - xy)] + tan^(-1) z`
`= pi + tan^(-1) [(z (xy -1))/(1 -xy)] + tan^(-1) z`
`= pi + tan^(-1) (-z) + tan^(-1) z = pi`
