Exercise 2.3 Page No: 35

Short Answer (S.A)

1. Find the value of tan-1 [tan (5Ï€/6)] + cos-1 [cos (13Ï€/6)]

Solution:

We know that,

tan-1 tan x = x, x ∈ (-π/2, π/2)

And, here

tan-1 tan (5π/6) ≠ 5π/6 as 5π/6 ∉ (-π/2, π/2)

Also,

cos-1 cos x = x; x ∈ [0, π]

So,

cos-1 cos (13π/6) ≠ 13π/6 as 13π/6 ∉ [0, π]

Now,

tan-1 [tan (5Ï€/6)] + cos-1 [cos (13Ï€/6)]

= tan-1 [tan (Ï€ – Ï€ /6)] + cos-1 [cos (2Ï€ + Ï€/6)]

= tan-1 [ -tan π /6] + cos-1 [ -cos (7π/6)]

= – tan-1 [tan Ï€ /6] + cos-1 [cos (Ï€/6)]

= – Ï€ /6 + Ï€ /6

= 0

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Chapter 2 - 11

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Chapter 2 - 12

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

– Hence proved

11. Solve the equation cos (tan-1 x) = sin (cot-1 3/4).

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

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Chapter 2 - 14

12. Prove that

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

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

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

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

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

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

Solution:

Taking the LHS,

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

NCERT Exemplar Solutions Chapter 2 - 20

= RHS

– Hence Proved

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

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

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

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

22. If 3 tan-1 x + cot-1 x = π, then x equals

(a) 0 (b) 1 (c) -1 (d) ½

Solution:

(b) 1

Given, 3 tan-1 x + cot-1 x = π

2 tan-1 x + tan-1 x + cot-1 x = π

2 tan-1 x + π/2 = π (As tan-1 + cot-1 = π/2)

2 tan-1 x = π/2

tan-1 x = π/4

x = 1

24. The domain of the function cos-1 (2x – 1) is

(a) [0, 1] (b) [-1, 1] (c) [-1, 1] (d) [0, π]

Solution:

(a) [0, 1]

Since, cos-1 x is defined for x ∈ [-1, 1]

So, f(x) = cos-1 (2x – 1) is defined if

-1 ≤ 2x – 1 ≤ 1

0 ≤ 2x ≤ 2

Hence,

0 ≤ x ≤ 1

25. The domain of the function by f(x) = sin-1 √(x – 1) is

(a) [1, 2] (b) [-1, 1] (c) [0, 1] (d) none of these

Solution:

(a) [1, 2]

We know that, sin-1 x is defined for x ∈ [-1, 1]

So, f(x) = sin-1 √(x – 1) is defined if

0 ≤ √(x – 1) ≤ 1

0 ≤ x – 1 ≤ 1

1 ≤ x ≤ 2

Hence,

x ∈ [1, 2]

26. If cos (sin-1 2/5 + cos-1 x) = 0, then x is equal to

(a) 1/5 (b) 2/5 (c) 0 (d) 1

Solution:

(b) 2/5

Given,

cos (sin-1 2/5 + cos-1 x) = 0

So, this can be rewritten as

sin-1 2/5 + cos-1 x = cos-1 0

sin-1 2/5 + cos-1 x = π/2

cos-1 x = Ï€/2 – sin-1 2/5

cos-1 x = cos-1 2/5 [Since, cos-1 x + sin-1 x = π/2]

Hence,

x = 2/5

27. The value of sin (2 tan-1(0.75)) is equal to
