Satement-1: if 1/2lexle1then cos^(-1)x-sin^(-1){x/2+sqrt(3-3x^(2))/(2)} is equal to (pi)/(5) Statement-2: sin^(-1)(2xsqrt(1-x^(2))=2sin^(-1)x if x in -(1)sqrt(2),(1)sqrt(2))

Answer»

Statement-1 is is True, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for Statement-1.
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

Solution :LET x = cos `theta` then
`1/2 LE x le 1 rarr 1/2 le cos theta le 1 rarr 0 le theta le (PI)/(3)`
`therefore -theta-sin^(-1){1/2cos theta +sqrt(2)/(2)sin theta}`
`=theta -sin^(-1){sin(pi)/(6)cos theta +cos (pi)/(6) sin theta}`
`=theta -sin^(-1){sin(theta+(pi)/(6))}`
`=theta -(theta +(pi)/(6))=-(pi)/(6)`
so statement 1 true
let x =sinx `theta` then
`(1)/sqrt(2) le x le (1)sqrt(2) rarr -(1)/sqrt(2) le sin thetale (1)/sqrt(2) rarr =(pi)/(4) le theta le (pi)/(4)`
`there sin^(-1)2xsqrt(1-x^(2))=sin^(-1)(sin 2 theta) =2 sin^(-1)x`
so statement 2 true
we have
`1/2 le x le 1 rarr x^(2)+3/4gt 1`
using : `sin^(-1) x + sin^(-1)y =pi -sin^(-1)xsqrt(1-y^(2))+ysqrt(1-x^(2))`
when `0 lt x,y le 1 and x^(2) a+ y^(2) gt1` we have
`thereforesin^(-1)((x)/(2)+(sqrt(3-3x^(2))/(2))=pi-sin^(-1)x-(pi)/(3)=2pi)/(3)-=sin^(-1)x`
`=cot^(-1)x=(2x)/(3)+sin^(-1)x=(pi)/(2)-(2pi)/(3)=-(pi)/(6)`
so statement-1 is true
statement -2 true (see theory )
