If sincot-1(x+1)=costan-1x, then x=
-12
12
0
94
Explanation for the correct option.
Step 1: Evaluate the expression
Given that, sincot-1(x+1)=costan-1x.
Converting cot-1in terms of sin-1 and tan-1 in terms of cos-1 we get:
sincot-1(x+1)=sinsin-11x2+2x+2=1x2+2x+2....(1)costan-1x=coscos-111+x2=11+x2...(2)
Step 2: Solve for x
Equating (1) & (2) we get:
1x2+2x+2=11+x2⇒1+x2=x2+2x+2⇒1+x2=x2+2x+2⇒2x+1=0⇒x=-12
Hence, option A is correct.
