Worked solution

Given equation, cos (tan-1 x) = sin (cot-1 3/4)

Taking L.H.S,

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Chapter 2 - 13

On squaring on both sides,

16(x2 + 1) = 25

16x2 + 16 = 25

16x2 = 9

x2 = 9/16

Therefore, x = ± 3/4

Q13Written answer

Find the simplified form of cos-1 [3/5 cos x + 4/5 sin x], x ∈ [-3π/4, π/4].

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

We have,

cos-1 [3/5 cos x + 4/5 sin x], x ∈ [-3π/4, π/4]

Now, let cos α = 3/5

So, sin α = 4/5 and tan α = 4/3

cos-1 [3/5 cos x + 4/5 sin x]

⇒ cos-1 [3/5 cos x + 4/5 sin x] = cos-1 [cos α cos x + sin α sin x]

= cos-1 [cos (α – x)]

= α – x

= tan-1 4/3 – x

Q14Written answer

Prove that sin-1 8/17 + sin-1 3/5 = sin-1 77/85

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Taking the L.H.S,

= sin-1 8/17 + sin-1 3/5

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Chapter 2 - 18= tan-1 8/15 + tan-1 3/4

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Chapter 2 - 17

– Hence proved

Q15Written answer

Show that sin-1 5/13 + cos-1 3/5 = tan-1 63/16

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Here, sin-1 5/13 = tan-1 5/12

And,

cos-1 3/5 = tan-1 4/3

Taking the L.H.S, we have

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Chapter 2 - 19

Thus, L.H.S = R.H.S

– Hence Proved

Q16Written answer

Prove that tan-1 1/4 + tan-1 2/9 = sin-1 1/√5

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Taking the LHS,

tan-1 1/4 + tan-1 2/9

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Chapter 2 - 20

= RHS

– Hence Proved

Q17Written answer

Find the value of 4 tan-1 1/5 – tan-1 1/239

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

4 tan-1 1/5 – tan-1 1/239

= 2 (tan-1 1/5) – tan-1 1/239

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Chapter 2 - 21

= 2 tan-1 5/12 – tan-1 1/239

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Chapter 2 - 22

Thus,

4 tan-1 1/5 – tan-1 1/239 = π/4

Q18Written answer

Show that tan-1 (1/2 sin-1 3/4) = (4 – √7)/ 3 and justify why the other value (4 + √7)/ 3 is ignored.

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

We have, tan-1 (1/2 sin-1 3/4)

Let ½ sin-1 ¾ = θ ⇒ sin-1 ¾ = 2θ ⇒ sin 2θ = ¾

2 tan θ/ 1 + tan2 θ = ¾

3 tan2 θ – 8 tan θ + 3 = 0

As a1, a2, a3, …., an is an arithmetic progression with common difference d.

d = a2 – a1 = a3 – a2 = a4 – a3 = …… = an – an-1

Q20Written answer

Which of the following is the principal value branch of cos-1 x?

(a) [-π/2, π/2] (b) (0, π) (c) [0. π] (d) [0, π] – {π/2}

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

(c) [0. π]

As we know that the principal value branch cos-1 x is [0, π].
