A solution of the equation ${\tan ^{ - 1}}(1 + x)$ $ + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(1 - x)$ $ = \frac{\pi }{2}$ is
  • A
    $x = 1$
  • B
    $x = - 1$
  • $x = 0$
  • D
    $x = \pi $
Answer
Correct option: C.
$x = 0$
c
(c) ${\tan ^{ - 1}}(1 + x) + {\tan ^{ - 1}}(1 - x) = \frac{\pi }{2}$

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

==> ${\tan ^{ - 1}}(1 + x) = {\cot ^{ - 1}}(1 - x)$

==> ${\tan ^{ - 1}}(1 + x) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{{1 - x}}} \right)$

==> $1 + x = \frac{1}{{1 - x}} \Rightarrow 1 - {x^2} = 1 \Rightarrow x = 0$.

Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{2}{3}, \frac{-2}{3}$
c
(c) $\cos (2{\sin ^{ - 1}}x) = \frac{1}{9}$

$\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{3}-\sec ^{-1}(-2)$ is equal to
  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 \pi}{3}$
  • C
    $\pi$
  • $-\frac{\pi}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$-\frac{\pi}{3}$
d
Let $\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{3}=x$

Then, $\tan x=\sqrt{3}=\tan \frac{\pi}{3}$

We know that the range of the principal value branch of $\tan ^{-1}$ is $\left(\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$ $\therefore \tan ^{-1} \sqrt{3}=\frac{\pi}{3}$

Let $\sec ^{-1}(-2)=y$

Then, $\sec y=-2=-\sec \left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\sec \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\sec \frac{2 \pi}{3}$

We know that the range of the principal value branch of $\sec ^{-1}$ is $[0, \pi]-\left\{\frac{\pi}{2}\right\}$

$\therefore \sec ^{-1}(-2)=\frac{2 \pi}{3}$

Thus, $\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})-\sec ^{-1}(-2)$

$=\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{2 \pi}{3}=-\frac{\pi}{3}$

Find the values of $\tan \left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{3}{5}+\cot ^{-1} \frac{3}{2}\right)$
  • $\frac{17}{6}$
  • B
    $\frac{6}{17}$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{16}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{4}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{17}{6}$
a
Let $\sin ^{-1} \frac{3}{5}=x$

Then

$\sin x=\frac{3}{5}$

$\Rightarrow \cos x=\sqrt{1-\sin ^{2} x}=\frac{4}{5}$

$\Rightarrow \sec x=\frac{5}{4}$

$\therefore \tan x=\sqrt{\sec ^{2} x-1}=\sqrt{\frac{25}{16}-1}=\frac{3}{4}$

$\therefore x=\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}$

$\therefore \sin ^{-1} \frac{3}{5}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}$

Now, $\cot ^{-1} \frac{3}{2}=\tan ^{-1} \frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, $\tan \left(\sin ^{-1} \frac{3}{5}+\cot ^{-1} \frac{3}{2}\right)$

$=\tan \left(\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}+\tan ^{-1} \frac{2}{3}\right)$

$=\tan \left[\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{\frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{3}}{1-\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{2}{3}}\right)\right]$

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

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

Let $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)=x$

We know that the range of the principal value branch of $\sin ^{-1}$ is $\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$ $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)=\frac{\pi}{6}$

$\therefore \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3}-\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-1}{2}\right)\right)=\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{\pi}{6}\right)$$=\sin \left(\frac{3 \pi}{6}\right)=\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=1$

Answer
Correct option: D.
${(1 + {x^2})^{ - 1/2}}$
d
(d) ${\cot ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{1}{x}} \right) = \theta \,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\cos \theta = \frac{1}{x}$

Now, $\cos ec \theta =\sqrt {1+ {\cot ^2 \theta}} = \sqrt {{x^2} +1} $.

$\therefore \,\,\,\sin \theta  = \frac{1}{{\cos ec\,\theta }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}\,\, \Rightarrow \,\theta  = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}$

Hence $\sin \,({\cot ^{ - 1}}x)\, = \sin \,\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}} \right)$

$ = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }} = {(1 + {x^2})^{ - 1/2}}$

    $\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} $
  • $\frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}$
  • C
    $1 + {x^2}$

Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}$
b
(b) Let $\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}x\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,x = \tan \theta $

$\therefore \,\,\cos \theta = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta } }} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}$

Hence $\cos \theta = \cos \,({\tan ^{ - 1}}x) = \frac{1}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} }}$.

  • B
    $ - \frac{1}{{\sqrt {10} }}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{{10}}$
  • D
    $ - \frac{1}{{10}}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{{\sqrt {10} }}$
a
(a) Let ${\cos ^{ - 1}}\frac{4}{5} = x$ ==> $\cos x = \frac{4}{5}$ .....$(i)$

Now $\sin \left( {\frac{1}{2}{{\cos }^{ - 1}}\frac{4}{5}} \right) = \sin \left( {\frac{x}{2}} \right)$ .....$(ii)$

From $(i),$ $\cos x = \frac{4}{5}$

==> $1 - 2{\sin ^2}\frac{x}{2} = \frac{4}{5}$

==> $2{\sin ^2}\frac{x}{2} = 1 - \frac{4}{5} = \frac{1}{5}$

$ \Rightarrow \sin \frac{x}{2} = \sqrt {\frac{1}{{10}}} $.

Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{{a + b}}{{1 - ab}}$
d
(d) ${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{2a}}{{1 + {a^2}}}} \right) + {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{2b}}{{1 + {b^2}}}} \right) = 2{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$

Putting $a = \tan \theta $ and $b = \tan \phi $

So, ${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{2\tan \theta }}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}\theta }}} \right) + {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{2\tan \phi }}{{1 + {{\tan }^2}\phi }}} \right) = 2{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$

==> ${\sin ^{ - 1}}\sin (2\theta ) + {\sin ^{ - 1}}\sin (2\phi ) = 2{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$

==> $2(\theta + \phi ) = 2{\tan ^{ - 1}}x$

Hence $x = \tan (\theta + \phi )$

==> $x = \frac{{\tan \theta + \tan \phi }}{{1 - \tan \theta \tan \phi }}$

Substituting these values, we get $x = \frac{{a + b}}{{1 - ab}}$.
