Solve : `tan^(-1)(x-1)/(x-2)+tan^(-1)(x+1)/(x+2)=pi/4`

Answer» Correct Answer - `x = sqrt((5)/(2))`
`tan^(-1).(x -1)/(x + 2) + tan^(-1).(x + 1)/(x + 2) = (pi)/(4)`
`rArr tan^(-1) [((x -1)/(x + 2) + (x + 1 )/(x + 2))/(1 - ((x -1)/(x + 2)) ((x +1)/(x + 2)))] = (pi)/(4)`
`rArr [(2x (x + 2))/(x^(2) + 4 + 4x -x^(2) + 1)] = tan.(pi)/(4)`
`rArr (2x (x + 2))/(4x + 5) = 1`
`rarr 2x^(2) + 4x = 4x + 5`
`:. x = +- sqrt((5)/(2))`
But for `x = -sqrt5//2`, L.H.S. is negative
Hence, `x = sqrt(5//2)`

or `cos^(-1) (2x) + cos^(-1) (3x)= pi - cos^(-1) (x) = cos^(-1) (-x)`
or `cos^(-1) [(2x) (3x) - sqrt(1 -4x^(2)) sqrt(1 -9x^(2))] = cos^(-1) (-x)`
or `6x^(2) - sqrt(1-4x^(2)) sqrt(1 -9x^(2)) = -x`
or `(6x^(2) + x)^(2) = (1-4x^(2)) (1-9x^(2))`
or `x^(2) + 12x^(3) = 1 - 13x^(2)`
or `12x^(3) + 14x^(2) -1 = 0`
`rArr a = 12, b = 14, c =0`
`rArr a + b + c = 12 + 14 -1 = 25`

Find the value of x for which `f(x) = 2 sin^(-1) sqrt(1 - x) + sin^(-1) (2 sqrt(x - x^(2)))` is constant

Answer» `f(x) = 2 sin^(-1) sqrt(1 - (sqrtx)^(2)) + sin^(-1) (2 sqrt((x)^(2) {1 - (sqrtx)^(2)})`
Put `sqrtx = cos theta, " where " theta = cos^(-1) sqrtx in [0, (pi)/(2)]`
`:. F(x) = 2 sin^(-1) sqrt(1 - cos^(2) theta) + sin^(-1) 2sqrt((cos^(2) theta) (1 - cos^(2) theta))`
`= 2 sin^(-1) (sin theta) + sin^(-1) (2 sin theta cos theta)`
`= 2 sin^(-1) (sin theta) + sin^(-1) (sin 2 theta)`
`= 2 theta + sin^(-1) (2 theta)`
`= 2 theta + (pi - 2 theta) " if " 2 theta in [(pi)/(2), pi]`
`= pi, theta in [(pi)/(4), (pi)/(2)]`
So, `sqrtx = cos theta in [0, (1)/(sqrt2)]`
or `x in [0, (1)/(2)]`

Find the minimum value of `(sec^(-1) x)^(2) + (cosec^(-1) x)^(2)`

Answer» Let `I = (sec^(-1) x)^(2) + (cosec^(-1) x)^(2)`
`= (sec^(-1) x + cosec^(-1) x)^(2) - 2 sec^(-1) x cosec^(-1) x`
`= (pi^(2))/(4) - 2 sec^(-1) x ((pi)/(2) - sec^(-1) x)`
`= (pi^(2))/(4) + 2 (sec^(-1) x)^(2) - pi sec^(-1) x`
`= (pi^(2))/(4) + 2 [(sec^(-1) x)^(2) - 2(pi)/(4) sec^(-1) x + ((pi)/(4))^(2)] - (pi^(2))/(8)`
`= 2 (sec^(-1) x - (pi)/(4))^(2) + (pi^(2))/(8) rArr I ge (pi^(2))/(8)`

Solve `sin^(-1). (14)/(|x|) + sin^(-1).(2 sqrt15)/(|x|) = (pi)/(2)`

Answer» `sin^(-1).(14)/(|x|) + sin^(-1). (2sqrt15)/(|x|) = (pi)/(2)`
`rArr sin^(-1).(14)/(|x|) = (pi)/(2) - sin^(-1).(2 sqrt15)/(|x|)`
`= cos^(-1).(2 sqrt15)/(|x|) = sin^(-1)sqrt(1 - ((2 sqrt15)/(|x|))^(2))`
`rArr ((14)/(|x|))^(2) = 1 - ((2 sqrt15)/(|x|))^(2)`
`rArr |x| = 16 " or " x = +- 16`, which satisfies `|x| ge 2 sqrt15`

Sove `2 cos^(-1) x = sin^(-1) (2 x sqrt(1 - x^(2)))`

Answer» Let x = cos y, where `0 le y le pi, |x| le 1`
`2 cos^(-1) x = sin^(-1) (2 x sqrt(1 -x^(2)))`...(i)
`rArr 2 cos^(-1) (cos y) = sin^(-1) (2 cos y sqrt(1 - cos^(2) y))`
`= sin^(-1) (2 cos y sin y)`
`= sin^(-1) (sin 2 y)`
`rArr sin^(-1) (sin 2 y) = 2y " for " -pi//2 le y le pi//4`
and `2 cos^(-1) (cos y) = 2y " for " 0 le y le pi`
Thus, Eq. (i) holds only when
`y in [0, pi//4]`
`rArr x in [1//sqrt2, 1]`

Sove `[cot^(-1) x] + [cos^(-1) x] =0`, where `[.]` denotes the greatest integer function

Answer» We have `[cot^(-1) x] + [cos^(-1) x] =0`
Since `cos^(-1)x, cot^(-1) x ge 0`, we must have
`[cot^(-1) x] = [cos^(-1) x] =0`
Now, `[cot^(-1) x] = 0`
`rArr 0 lt cot^(-1) x lt 1`
`rArr x in (cot 1, oo)`...(1)
Also, `[cos^(-1) x] = 0` ltrbgt `rArr 0 le cos^(-1) x lt1`
`rArr x in (cos 1, 1]`...(2)
From (1) and (2) `x in (cot 1,10`

If `cot^(-1)((n^2-10 n+21. 6)/pi)>pi/6,`where `x y

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C
We have
`cot^(-1) ((n^(2) -10n + 21.6)/(pi)) gt (pi)/(6)`
`rArr (n^(2) - 10n + 21.6)/(pi) lt cot.(pi)/(6)` (as cot x decreasing for `0 lt x lt pi`)
or `n^(2) - 10n + 21.6 lt pisqrt3`
or `n^(2) - 10n + 25 + 21.6 - 25 lt pi sqrt3`
or `(n-5)^(2) lt pi sqrt3 + 3.4`
or `-sqrt(sqrt3 po + 3.4) lt n - 5 lt sqrt(sqrt3 pi + 3.4)`
or `5 -x sqrt(sqrt5 pi + 3.4) lt n - 5 lt sqrt(sqrt3 pi + 3.4)` ...(i)
Since `sqrt3 pi = 5.5`, nearly , `sqrt(sqrt3 pi + 3.4) ~ sqrt(8.9) ~ 2.9`
`rArr 2.1 lt n lt 7.9`
`:. n = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 " " {"as " n in N}`
