Inverse Trigonometric Function Exercise 3.13 Question 1

Answer:

Given:
$\cos^{-1}\frac{x}{2}+\cos^{-1}\frac{y}{3}= \alpha$
To prove:
$9x^{2}-12xy\cos \alpha +4y^{2}= 36\sin ^{2}\alpha$
Hint:
We are applying the formula of
$\cos^{-1}x+\cos^{-1}y= \cos^{-1}\left [ xy-\left ( \sqrt{1-x^{2}} \right )\left ( \sqrt{1-y^{2}} \right )\right ]$
Solution:
We have
$\cos^{-1}\frac{x}{2}+\cos^{-1}\frac{y}{3}= \cos^{-1}\left [ \frac{x}{2}\times \frac{y}{3}-\left ( \sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{x}{2} \right )^{2}} \right )\left ( \sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{y}{3} \right )^{2}} \right )\right ]$
$= \cos^{-1}\left [ \frac{xy}{6}-\frac{\sqrt{4-x^{2}}}{2}\times \frac{\sqrt{9-y^{2}}}{3} \right ]$
$= \cos^{-1}\left [ \frac{xy-\sqrt{4-x^{2}}\times \sqrt{9-y^{2}}}{6} \right ]= \alpha$ (Let)
$\Rightarrow xy-\sqrt{4-x^{2}} \times \sqrt{9-y^{2}} = 6\cos \alpha$
$\Rightarrow \left ( xy-6\cos \alpha \right )= \sqrt{4-x^{2}}\times \sqrt{9-y^{2}}$
On squaring both sides, we get
$\! \! \! \! \! \! \! \! \Rightarrow \left ( xy-6\cos \alpha \right )^{2}= \left ( 4-x^{2} \right )\left ( 9-y ^{2}\right )\\\Rightarrow x^{2y^{2}}+36\cos ^{2}\alpha -12xy\cos \alpha = 36-9x^{2}-4y^{2}+x^{2}y^{2}$
$\! \! \! \! \! \! \! \! \! \Rightarrow 9x^{2}+4y^{2}-36+36\cos ^{2}\alpha-12xy\cos \alpha = 0\\\Rightarrow 9x^{2}+4y^{2}-12xy\cos \alpha-36\left ( 1-\cos ^{2}\alpha \right )= 0$
$\Rightarrow 9x^{2}+4y^{2}-12xy\cos \alpha -36\sin ^{2}\alpha = 0$
$\Rightarrow 9x^{2}+4y^{2}-12xy\cos \alpha = 36\sin ^{2}\alpha$
Hence proved

Inverse Trigonometric Function Exercise 3.13 Question 2

Answer:
$x= ab$
Given:
$\cos^{-1}\frac{a}{x}-\cos^{-1}\frac{b}{x}= \cos^{-1}\frac{1}{b}-\cos^{-1}\frac{1}{a}$
Hint:
First, we will separate the angle of $a$ terms then we will apply the formula,
$\cos^{-1}x+\cos^{-1}y= \cos^{-1}\left [ xy-\left ( \sqrt{1-x^{2}} \right )\left ( \sqrt{1-y^{2}} \right ) \right ]$
$\cos^{-1}\frac{a}{x}+\cos^{-1}\frac{1}{a} = \cos^{-1}\frac{1}{b}+\cos^{-1}\frac{b}{x}$
Solution:
We know that,
$\cos^{-1}x+\cos^{-1}y= \cos^{-1}\left [ xy-\left ( \sqrt{1-x^{2}} \right )\left ( \sqrt{1-y^{2}} \right ) \right ]$
Substituting the values in the formula, we get
$\cos^{-1}\left [ \frac{1}{x}-\sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{a}{x} \right )^{2}} \sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{1}{a} \right )^{2}}\right ]= \cos^{-1}\left [ \frac{1}{x}\sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{b}{x} \right )^{2}}\sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{1}{b} \right )^{2}} \right ]$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{x}-\sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{a}{x} \right )^{2}} \sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{1}{a} \right )^{2}}=\frac{1}{x}-\sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{b}{x} \right )^{2}}\sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{1}{b} \right )^{2}}$
$\Rightarrow\sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{a}{x} \right )^{2}} \sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{1}{a} \right )^{2}}=\sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{b}{x} \right )^{2}}\sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{1}{b} \right )^{2}}$
Squaring on both sides, we get
$\Rightarrow \left ( 1-\left ( \frac{a}{x} \right )^{2}\right )\left ( 1-\left ( \frac{1}{a} \right )^{2} \right )=\left ( 1-\left ( \frac{b}{x} \right ) ^{2}\right )\left ( 1-\left ( \frac{1}{b}\right )^{2} \right )$
$\Rightarrow 1-\left ( \frac{a}{x} \right )^{2}-\left ( \frac{1}{a} \right )^{2}+\left ( \frac{1}{x} \right )^{2}= 1-\left ( \frac{b}{x} \right )^{2}-\left ( \frac{1}{b} \right )^{2}+\left ( \frac{1}{x} \right )^{2}$
$\Rightarrow \left ( \frac{b}{x} \right )^{2}-\left ( \frac{a}{x} \right )^{2}= \left ( \frac{1}{a} \right )^{2}-\left ( \frac{1}{b} \right )^{2}$
On Simplifying, we get
$\Rightarrow \left ( b^{2} -a^{2}\right )a^{2}b^{2}= x^{2}\left ( b^{2}-a^{2} \right )$
$\Rightarrow x^{2}= a^{2}b^{2}$
$\Rightarrow x= ab$
Hence the result.

Inverse Trigonometric Function Exercise 3.13 Question 3

Answer:
$x= \frac{1}{2}$
Given:
$\cos^{-1}\sqrt{3x}+\cos^{-1}x= \frac{x}{2}$
Hint:
We are applying the formula,
$\cos^{-1}x+\cos^{-1}y= \cos^{-1}\left [ xy-\left ( \sqrt{1-x^{2}} \right )\left ( \sqrt{1-y^{2}} \right ) \right ]$
Solution:
We have
$\cos^{-1}\sqrt{3x}+\cos^{-1}x= \frac{x}{2}$
Using formula written on the hint, we get
$\Rightarrow \cos^{-1}\left [ \sqrt{3x}\times x-\left ( \sqrt{1-\left ( \sqrt{3x} \right )^{2}} \right )\left ( \sqrt{1-x^{2}} \right ) \right ]= \frac{x}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \cos^{-1}\left [ \sqrt{3x^{2}}-\left ( \sqrt{1-3x ^{2}} \right )\left ( \sqrt{1-x^{2}} \right ) \right ]= \frac{x}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{3x^{2}}-\left ( \sqrt{1-3x ^{2}} \right )\left ( \sqrt{1-x^{2}} \right )= \cos \frac{x}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{3x^{2}}-\left ( \sqrt{1-3x ^{2}} \right )\left ( \sqrt{1-x^{2}} \right )= 0\; \; \; \; \; \; \left [ \because \cos \frac{x}{2}= 0 \right ]$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{3x^{2}}-\left ( \sqrt{1-3x ^{2}} \right )\left ( \sqrt{1-x^{2}} \right )$
Squaring on both sides, we get
$\Rightarrow 3x^{4}-\left ( 1-3x ^{2} \right )\left ( 1-x^{2} \right )$
$\Rightarrow 3x^{4}= 1-x ^{2} -3x^{2}+3x^{4}$
$\Rightarrow 1-4x^{2}= 0$
$\Rightarrow 4x^{2}= 1$
$\Rightarrow x^{2}= \frac{1}{4}$
$\Rightarrow x=\pm \frac{1}{2}\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; [ As -\frac{1}{2} is\: not\: satisf\! ying \: the\: equation]$
Hence the result is $x= \frac{1}{2}$

Inverse Trigonometric Function Exercise 3.13 Question 4

Answer:

Given:
$\cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{4}{5} \right )+\cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{12}{13} \right )$
To prove:
$\cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{4}{5} \right )+\cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{12}{13} \right )= \cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{33}{65} \right )$
Hint:
We will use the formula on L.H.S
$\cos^{-1}x+\cos^{-1}y= \cos^{-1}\left [ xy-\left ( \sqrt{1-x^{2}} \right )\left ( \sqrt{1-y^{2}} \right ) \right ]$
Solution:
Taking L.H.S
L.H.S
$\cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{4}{5} \right )+\cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{12}{13} \right )$

$\Rightarrow \cos^{-1}\left [ \frac{48}{65}-\sqrt{1-\frac{16}{25} }\sqrt{1-\frac{144}{169}}\right ]$
$\Rightarrow \cos^{-1}\left [ \frac{48}{65}-\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{5}{13}\right ]$
$\Rightarrow \cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{33}{65} \right )$
$=$ R.H.S
Hence we get R.H.S.

Inverse Trigonometric Function Exercise 3.13 Question 5

Answer:

Given:
$\cos^{-1}\frac{12}{13}+\sin^{-1}\frac{3}{5}$
Hint:
First, we convert $\cos^{-1}$ to $\sin^{-1}$ and then use $\sin \left ( a+b \right )$ formula.
Solution:
Let $a= \cos^{-1}\frac{12}{13}$ and $b= \sin^{-1}\frac{3}{5}$
Finding $\sin a , \cos a$ .
Let $a= \cos^{-1}\frac{12}{13}$
$\cos a= \left (\frac{12}{13} \right )$
We know that
$\sin a= \sqrt{1-\cos ^{2}}a$
$= \sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{12}{13} \right )^{2}}$
$= \sqrt{\frac{25}{169}}$
$= \frac{5}{13}$
Again, finding $\sin b, \cos b$
Let $b= \sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{3}{5} \right )$
$\Rightarrow \sin b= \frac{3}{5}$
We know that,
$\cos b= \sqrt{1-\sin ^{2}b}$
$\Rightarrow \cos b= \sqrt{1-\left ( \frac{3}{5} \right )^{2}}$
$= \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}= \frac{4}{5}$
$\cos b= \frac{4}{5}$
We know that,
$\sin \left ( a+b \right )= \sin a\cos b+\cos a\sin b$
Putting, $\sin a= \frac{5}{13},\cos a= \frac{12}{13}$
$\sin b= \frac{3}{5},\cos b= \frac{4}{5}$
We have,
$\sin \left ( a+b \right )= \frac{5}{13}\times \frac{4}{5}+\frac{12}{13}\times \frac{3}{5}$
$= \frac{20}{65}+\frac{36}{65}$
$\sin \left ( a+b \right )= \frac{56}{65}$
$a+b =\sin^{-1} \frac{56}{65}$
Putting the value of $a,b$
$\cos^{-1}\frac{12}{13}+\sin^{-1}\frac{3}{5}= \sin^{-1}\frac{56}{65}$
LHS=RHS
Hence proved.
