Solve for x: 2 ^ -1 ( x) = ^ -1 (2 cosec x). - Vidyadip

Question

Solve for x:
$2 \tan^{-1}(\cos x) = \tan^{-1} (2 cosec\ x)$.

✓

Answer

$2\tan^{-1}(\cos\text{x})=\tan^{-1}\Bigg(\frac{2\cos\text{x}}{1-\cos^{2}\text{x}}\Bigg)$
$=\tan^{-1}\Bigg(\frac{\text{2 cos x}}{\text{sin}^{2}\text{x}}\Bigg)$
$\therefore\tan^{-1}\Bigg(\frac{\text{2 cos x}}{\text{sin}^{2}\text{ x}}\Bigg)=\tan^{-1}(2\text{ cosec x})$
$\Rightarrow\frac{2\cos\text{x}}{\sin^{2}\text{x}}=\frac{2}{\text{sin x}}\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=\cos\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\pi/4.$
