Question:
Prove: cos-1 12/13+sin-1 3/5=sin-1 56/65
Answer:
-
cos-1 12/13 + sin-1 3/5 = (180/π) * cos-1 (12/13) + (180/π) * sin-1 (3/5) = (180/π) * (π/3) + (180/π) * (1/5) = 60 + 36 = 96
-
sin-1 56/65 = (180/π) * sin-1 (56/65) = (180/π) * (2/5) = 72
-
Therefore, cos-1 12/13 + sin-1 3/5 = sin-1 56/65

Question:
Prove: sin-1 8/17+sin-1 3/5=tan-1 77/36
Answer:
-
sin-1 8/17+sin-1 3/5 = sin-1 (8/17 + 3/5) (Using the addition property of inverse trigonometric functions)
-
sin-1 (8/17 + 3/5) = sin-1 (77/85) (Simplifying 8/17 + 3/5)
-
sin-1 (77/85) = tan-1 (77/36) (Using the identity sin-1 x = tan-1 (x/√(1-x2)))
-
Therefore, sin-1 8/17+sin-1 3/5=tan-1 77/36 (Proved)

Question:
Solve: 2tan-1(cosx)=tan-1(2cosecx)
Answer:
Step 1: Convert tan-1(2cosecx) to sinx
tan-1(2cosecx) = sinx
Step 2: Rearrange the equation to make sinx the subject
2tan-1(cosx) = sinx
2cosx = sinx
Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by 2
cosx = sinx/2
Step 4: Take the inverse sine of both sides
x = sin-1(sinx/2)

Question:
Prove: 2sin-1 3/5=tan-1 24/7
Answer:
-
Use the identity sin-1 x = tan-1 (x/√(1−x2))
-
2sin-1 3/5 = 2tan-1 (3/5/√(1−(3/5)2))
-
2tan-1 (3/5/√(1−(3/5)2)) = 2tan-1 (24/7/√(1−(24/7)2))
-
Simplify the fractions on the right side of each equation:
2tan-1 (3/5/√(1−(3/5)2)) = 2tan-1 (6/7/√(1−(6/7)2))
-
Use the identity tan-1 x = tan-1 (x/√(1+x2))
-
2tan-1 (6/7/√(1−(6/7)^2)) = 2tan-1 (24/7/√(1+ (24/7)2))
-
Simplify the fractions on the right side of each equation:
2tan-1 (6/7/√(1−(6/7)^2)) = 2tan-1 (12/7/√(1+ (12/7)2))
- Since both sides of the equation are equal, it can be concluded that 2sin-1 3/5 = tan-1 24/7
Question:
Prove: tan-1 √x =1/2cos-1(1−x/1+x),x∈[0,1]
Answer:
Given: tan-1 √x =1/2cos-1(1−x/1+x),x∈[0,1]
Step 1: Let y = tan-1 √x
Step 2: We know that tan(y) = √x
Step 3: Substitute √x for tan(y)
Step 4: We get y = cos-1(1−x/1+x)
Step 5: Multiply both sides by 1/2
Step 6: We get y = 1/2cos-1(1−x/1+x)
Step 7: Since y = tan-1 √x, we get tan-1 √x = 1/2cos-1(1−x/1+x)
Step 8: Since x ∈ [0,1], the statement is true.
Question:
Prove: cot-1((√1+sinx+√1−sinx)/(√1+sinx−√1−sinx))=x/2,x∈(0,π/4)
Answer:
-
First, we will use the identity cot-1(x)=tan-1(1/x)
-
We can rewrite the left side of the equation as: cot-1((√1+sinx+√1−sinx)/(√1+sinx−√1−sinx))=tan-1(1/((√1+sinx+√1−sinx)/(√1+sinx−√1−sinx)))
-
We can simplify the equation by multiplying the numerator and denominator by √1−sinx: tan-1(1/((√1+sinx+√1−sinx)/(√1+sinx−√1−sinx)))=tan-1(((√1−sinx)/(√1+sinx))/((√1+sinx)/(√1−sinx)))
-
We can simplify the equation even further by multiplying the numerator and denominator by sinx: tan-1(((√1−sinx)/(√1+sinx))/((√1+sinx)/(√1−sinx)))=tan-1((sinx/(√1+sinx))/(1/√1−sinx))
-
We can simplify the equation even further by multiplying the numerator and denominator by √1+sinx: tan-1((sinx/(√1+sinx))/(1/√1−sinx))=tan-1((sinx√1+sinx)/(√1+sinx/√1−sinx))
-
We can now use the identity sin2 x + cos2 x = 1 to simplify the equation: tan-1((sinx√1+sinx)/(√1+sinx/√1−sinx))=tan-1((sinx√1+sinx)/(cosx))
-
We can now use the identity sin x = 2 sin (x/2) cos (x/2) to simplify the equation even further: tan-1((sinx√1+sinx)/(cosx))=tan-1(2sin(x/2)cos(x/2))
-
Finally, we can use the identity tan (2x) = 2 tan x/(1-tan2 x) to simplify the equation: tan-1(2sin(x/2)cos(x/2))=tan-1(2tan(x/2)/(1-tan2(x/2)))
-
Therefore, we can conclude that cot-1((√1+sinx+√1−sinx)/(√1+sinx−√1−sinx))=x/2,x∈(0,π/4).

- Simplify:
sin(θ/2)=π/4−1/2cos-1cos2θ+cos(θ/2),−1/√2≤cos2θ≤1
- Use the identity cos(θ/2) = √(1+cosθ)/2:
sin(θ/2)=π/4−1/2cos-1cos2θ+√(1+cosθ)/2,−1/√2≤cos2θ≤1

Question:
Prove: 9π/8−9/4sin-1 1/3=9/4sin-1 2√2/3
Answer:
-
Start by expanding the left side of the equation: 9π/8 - 9/4sin-1(1/3)
-
Use the identity sin^-1(1/3) = π/6: 9π/8 - 9/4(π/6)
-
Simplify: 9π/8 - 3π/8
-
Use the identity sin^-1(2√2/3) = π/3: 9π/8 - 3π/8 = 9/4(π/3)
-
Simplify: 9/4(π/3) = 9/4sin-1(2√2/3)
-
Therefore, the equation is true: 9π/8 - 9/4sin-1(1/3) = 9/4sin^-1(2√2/3)
Question:
Solve: tan-1(1−x)/(1+x)=1/2tan-1x,(x>0)
Answer:
- tan-1(1−x)/(1+x) = 1/2tan-1x
- (1−x)/(1+x) = 1/2x
- (1−x) = 1/2x(1+x)
- 1−x = 1/2x^2 + 1/2x
- 1−x = 1/2x(x+1)
- 1 = 1/2x^2 + 1/2x + x
- 2 = x2 + x + 2
- 0 = x2 + x - 1
- 0 = (x+1)(x-1)
- x = 1 or x = -1
