Chapter 2 Inverse Trigonometric Functions – Exercise 2.2 |  Set 1

Find the values of each of the following: 

Question 11. tan−1[2cos(2sin−11/2​)]

Solution:

Let us assume that sin−11/2 = x

So, sinx = 1/2

Therefore, x = π​/6 = sin−11/2

Therefore, tan−1[2cos(2sin−11/2​)] =  tan−1[2cos(2 * π​/6)]

= tan−1[2cos(π​/3)]

Also, cos(Ï€/3​) = 1/2​

Therefore, tan−1[2cos(π​/3)] = tan−1[(2 * 1/2)]

= tan−1[1] = π​/4 

Question 12. cot(tan−1a + cot−1a) 

Solution:

We know, tan−1x + cot−1x = π​/2

Therefore, cot(tan−1a + cot−1a) = cot(π​/2) =0

Question 13.  tan\frac{1}{2}[sin^{-1}\frac{2x}{1+x^2}+cos^{-1}\frac{1-y^2}{1+y^2}],|x|<1,y>0,xy<1

Solution:

We know, 2tan-1x = sin^{-1}\frac{2 x}{1+x^2}    and 2tan-1y =  cos^{-1}[\frac{1 - y^2 }{1+y^2}]

\therefore tan\frac{1}{2}[sin^{-1}\frac{2x}{1+x^2}+cos^{-1}\frac{1-y^2}{1+y^2}]    

= tan(1/2)​[2(tan−1x + tan−1y)]

= tan[tan−1x + tan−1y]

Also, tan−1x + tan−1y = tan^{-1}\frac{x+y}{1-xy}

Therefore, tan[tan−1x + tan−1y] = tan[tan^{-1}\frac{x+y}{1-xy}]

= (x + y)/(1 – xy)

Question 14. If sin(sin−11/5​ + cos−1x) = 1 then find the value of x

Solution:

sin−11/5​ + cos−1x = sin−11

We know, sin−11 = Ï€/2

Therefore, sin−11/5​ + cos−1x = π/2

sin−11/5​ = Ï€/2 – cos−1x

Since, sin−1x​ + cos−1x = Ï€/2

Therefore, Ï€/2 – cos−1x = sin−1x

sin−11/5​ = sin−1x

So, x = 1/5

Question 15. If tan^{-1}\frac{x-1}{x-2} + tan^{-1}\frac{x+1}{x+2} = \frac{\pi}{4}    , then find the value of x

Solution:

We know, tan−1x + tan−1y = tan^{-1}\frac{x+y}{1-xy}

tan^{-1}\frac{x-1}{x-2} + tan^{-1}\frac{x+1}{x+2} =tan^{-1}\frac{\frac{x-1}{x-2}+\frac{x+1}{x+2}}{1-\frac{x-1}{x-2}.\frac{x+1}{x+2}} = \frac{\pi}{4}

tan^{-1}\frac{\frac{(x-1)(x+2)+(x+1)(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}}{\frac{(x-2)(x+2)-(x+1)(x-1)}{(x-2)(x+2)}} = \frac{\pi}{4}

tan^{-1}\frac{(x-1)(x+2)+(x+1)(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)-(x+1)(x-1)} = \frac{\pi}{4}

tan^{-1}(\frac{x^2+2x-x-2+x^2-2x+x-2}{x^2-4-x^2+1}) = \frac{\pi}{4}

tan^{-1}(\frac{x^2+x-2+x^2-x-2}{-3}) = \frac{\pi}{4}

tan^{-1}(\frac{2x^2-4}{-3}) = \frac{\pi}{4}

\frac{2x^2-4}{-3} = tan(\frac{\pi}{4})

\frac{2x^2-4}{-3} = 1

2x2 – 4 = -3

2x2 – 4 + 3 = 0

2x2 – 1 = 0

x2 = 1/2

x = 1/√2, -1/√2

Find the values of each of the expressions in Exercises 16 to 18.

Question 16. sin − 1(sin2Ï€/3​)  

Solution:

We know that sin−1(sinθ) = θ when θ ∈ [-Ï€/2, Ï€/2], but \frac{2 \pi}{3} > \frac{\pi}{2}

So, sin − 1(sin2Ï€/3​) can be written as sin^{-1}[sin(\pi-\frac{2\pi}{3})]

 sin − 1(sinÏ€/3​)  here \frac{-\pi}{2}<\frac{\pi}{3}<\frac{\pi}{2}

Therefore, sin − 1(sinπ/3​) = π/3

Question 17. tan−1(tan3Ï€/4​)

Solution:

We know that tan−1(tanθ) = θ when \theta \epsilon(\frac{-\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2})  but \frac{3 \pi}{4} > \frac{\pi}{2}

So, tan−1(tan3Ï€/4​) can be written as tan−1(-tan(-3Ï€/4)​)

= tan−1[-tan(Ï€ – Ï€/4​)]

= tan−1[-tan(π/4​)]

= –tan−1[tan(Ï€/4​)]

= – Ï€/4 where \frac{-\pi}{4} \epsilon(\frac{-\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2})

Question 18. tan(sin^{-1}\frac{3}{5} + cot^{-1}\frac{3}{2})

Solution:

Let us assume sin^{-1}\frac{3}{5}   = x , so sinx = 3/5 

We know, cosx = \sqrt{1-sin^2x}

\therefore cosx = \sqrt{1-(\frac{3}{5})^2}

cosx = \sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25}}

cosx = \sqrt{\frac{25-9}{25}}

cosx = \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}

cosx = 4/5

We know, tanx = \frac{sinx}{cosx}

So, tanx = \frac{\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}}

tanx = 3/4

Also, tan^{-1}\frac{1}{x} = cot^{-1}x

Hence, tan(sin^{-1}\frac{3}{5} + cot^{-1}\frac{3}{2}) = tan(tan^{-1}\frac{3}{4}+tan^{-1}\frac{2}{3})

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

So, tan(tan^{-1}\frac{3}{4}+tan^{-1}\frac{2}{3}) = tan(tan^{-1}\frac {\frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{3}}{1-\frac{3}{4}.\frac{2}{3}})

= tan(tan^{-1}\frac{\frac{9+8}{12}}{\frac{12-6}{12}})

= tan(tan^{-1}\frac{17}{6})

= 17/6

Question 19.  cos−1(cos7Ï€/6​) is equal to

(i) 7Ï€/6    (ii) 5Ï€/6    (iii)Ï€/3    (iv)Ï€/6

Solution:

 We know that cos−1(cosθ) = θ, θ ∈ [0, Ï€]

cos−1(cosθ) = θ, θ ∈ [0, π]

Here, 7Ï€/6 > Ï€ 

So, cos−1(cos7π/6​) can be written as cos−1(cos(-7π/6)​)

= cos−1[cos(2Ï€ – 7Ï€/6​)]      [cos(2Ï€ + θ) = θ]

= cos−1[cos(5Ï€/6​)]       where 5Ï€/6 ∈  [0, Ï€]

  Therefore, cos−1[cos(5Ï€/6​)] = 5Ï€/6 

Question 20. sin[\frac{\pi}{3} - sin^{-1}(-\frac{1}{2} )]

(i) 1/2    (ii) 1/3   (iii) 1/4    (iv) 1

Solution:

Let us assume sin-1(-1/2)= x, so sinx = -1/2 

Therefore, x = -π/6​

Therefore, sin[Ï€/3​ – (-Ï€/6​)]

= sin[π/3​ + (π/6​)]

= sin[3Ï€/6]

= sin[Ï€/2]

= 1

Question 21. tan^{-1}\sqrt{3} - cot^{-1}(-\sqrt{3})   is equal to

(i) Ï€    (ii) -Ï€/2    (iii)0    (iv)2√3

Solution:

We know, cot(−x) = −cotx

Therefore, tan-13 – cot-1(-3) = tan-13 – [-cot-1(3)]

= tan-13 + cot-13

Since, tan-1x + cot-1x = π/2

Tan-13 + cot-13 = -Ï€/2
