3sin^-1(x) = sin^-1(3x - 4x^3) when -1/2<=x<=1/2
Definitely 0.4 comes in this range of x and so
3sin^-1(0.4) = sin^-1[3*0.4 - 4*0.4^3]
3sin^-1(0.4) = sin^-1[1.2 - 4*0.064]
3sin^-1(0.4) = sin^-1[1.2 - 0.256]
3sin^-1(0.4) = sin^-1[0.944]
Finally , sin(3sin^-1(0.4)) = sin{sin^-1(0.944)} = 0.944

a) 3
b) 1
c) 2
d) infinite.
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Solution:

Given equation is sin^-1(x) - cos^-1(x) = sin^-1(1/2)

We know that sin(x) + cos(x) = √2 cos(x - π/4)

So, sin^-1(x) - cos^-1(x) = π/2 - sin^-1(√2x)

Therefore, the given equation becomes π/2 - sin^-1(√2x) = sin^-1(1/2)

sin(sin^-1(x)) = xsin(π/2 - sin^-1(√2x)) = √[1 - 2x^2]

√[1 - 2x^2] = 1/2

2x^2 = 3/4

x = ±√3/2

Therefore, the given equation has only 1 solution, which is x = √3/2 or x = -√3/2.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Nikita Singh answered
Let y = tan−1[(a−x)/(a+x)]1/2
put x = a cos θ
Now, y = tan−1[(a − a cos θ)/(a + a cos θ)]1/2
⇒ y = tan−1((1 − cos θ)/(1 + cos θ))1/2
⇒ y = tan−1[[(1−cos θ)(1−cos θ)]/(1+cos θ)(1−cos θ)]1/2
⇒ y = tan−1[(1−cos θ)2/1 − cos2θ]1/2
⇒ y = tan−1[(1 − cos θ)/sin θ]
⇒ y = tan−1[2 sin2(θ/2)/2 sin(θ/2) . cos(θ/2)]
⇒ y = tan−1[tan(θ/2)]
⇒ y = θ/2
⇒ y = 1/2 cos−1(x/a)

Ritu Singh answered
Correct Answer :- a
Explanation : cos-1(12/13) + sin-1 (3/5)
⇒ sin-1 5/13 + sin-1 3/5 
Using the formula,  sin-1x +  sin-1y = sin-1( x√1-y² + y√1-x² )
⇒ sin-1 ( 5/13√1-9/25 + 3√1-25/169)
⇒ sin-1 ( 5/13 × 4/5 + 3/5 × 12/13)
⇒ sin-1 (30 + 36 / 65)
⇒ sin-1 (56/ 65)

Nilanjan Mehra answered
Maximum and Minimum Value of sin x + cos x
Sin x + cos x can be expressed as a single trigonometric function using the identities sin x = cos(90° - x) and cos x = sin(90° - x). Therefore, sin x + cos x can be written as √2 sin(x + 45°).

Maximum Value:
- The maximum value of sin x + cos x occurs when the value of sin(x + 45°) is at its maximum.
- The maximum value of sin(x + 45°) is 1.
- Therefore, the maximum value of sin x + cos x is √2.

Minimum Value:
- The minimum value of sin x + cos x occurs when the value of sin(x + 45°) is at its minimum.
- The minimum value of sin(x + 45°) is -1.
- Therefore, the minimum value of sin x + cos x is -√2.
Therefore, the maximum value of sin x + cos x is √2 and the minimum value is -√2. Hence, option 'D' is the correct answer.

sin (200)0 + cos (200)0 is
  • a)
    Zero
  • b)
    Positive
  • c)
    Zero or positive.
  • d)
    Negative
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Dipika Dey answered
To determine the sign of sin(200)0 and cos(200)0, we need to recall the unit circle and the values of sine and cosine for angles in the different quadrants.

The unit circle is a circle with a radius of 1 unit, centered at the origin (0,0) on a coordinate plane. It helps us understand the relationship between angles and the coordinates on the circle.

The circle is divided into four quadrants: Quadrant I (0°-90°), Quadrant II (90°-180°), Quadrant III (180°-270°), and Quadrant IV (270°-360°).

In Quadrant I, both the x-coordinate (cosine) and the y-coordinate (sine) are positive. In Quadrant II, the x-coordinate (cosine) is negative, but the y-coordinate (sine) is positive. In Quadrant III, both the x-coordinate (cosine) and the y-coordinate (sine) are negative. In Quadrant IV, the x-coordinate (cosine) is positive, but the y-coordinate (sine) is negative.

Now let's consider the given angle, 200°.

Since 200° is greater than 180°, it lies in Quadrant III.

- The cosine of 200° will be negative because it is in Quadrant III.
- The sine of 200° will also be negative because it is in Quadrant III.

Hence, sin(200)0 and cos(200)0 are both negative.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'D' - Negative.

Principal Value of Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Introduction:
Inverse trigonometric functions are the inverse functions of trigonometric functions. They are used to find the angle measures corresponding to given trigonometric ratios. The principal branch refers to the values of the inverse trigonometric functions that lie within a specific range.

Principal Value:
The principal value of an inverse trigonometric function is the value that lies within the range of the principal branch. In other words, it is the value of the inverse trigonometric function that is considered as the primary or principal value. For example, the principal value of sin^(-1)(1) is denoted as sin^(-1)(1) and represents the angle whose sine is 1.

Finding the Principal Value of sin^(-1)(1):
To find the principal value of sin^(-1)(1), we need to determine the angle whose sine is 1. The sine function takes values between -1 and 1, inclusive. Therefore, we need to find the angle in the principal branch whose sine is 1.

Determining the Angle:
We know that the sine function is positive in the first and second quadrants. In the first quadrant, the sine function is positive and equal to 1 at π/2 radians or 90 degrees. Therefore, sin^(-1)(1) = π/2.

Finding the Principal Value of sin^(-1)(1/√2):
To find the principal value of sin^(-1)(1/√2), we need to determine the angle whose sine is 1/√2. The sine function takes values between -1 and 1, inclusive. Therefore, we need to find the angle in the principal branch whose sine is 1/√2.

Determining the Angle:
We know that the sine function is positive in the first and second quadrants. In the first quadrant, the sine function is positive and equal to 1/√2 at π/4 radians or 45 degrees. Therefore, sin^(-1)(1/√2) = π/4.

Conclusion:
The principal value of sin^(-1)(1) is π/2 and the principal value of sin^(-1)(1/√2) is π/4. Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 3π/4.
