Solution:

$tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )+tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{2}{9} \right )=tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{9}}{1-\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{2}{9}} \right )$

$=tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{17/36}{34/36} \right )=tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right ) ........ (1)$

Now Let:

$\frac{1}{2}cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{3}{5} \right )=\theta \Rightarrow cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{3}{5} \right )=2\theta$

$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{5}=cos2\theta \Rightarrow \frac{1-tan^{2}\theta }{1+tan^{2}\theta }=\frac{3}{5}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{3}{5}=cos2\theta \Rightarrow \frac{1-tan^{2}\theta }{1+tan^{2}\theta }=\frac{3}{5}$

$5-5tan^{2}\theta =3+3tan^{2}\theta$

$\Rightarrow 8tan^{2}\theta =2\Rightarrow \; \; tan\theta =\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{3}{5} \right )=tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )\: \: .......\: \: (2)$

$Let\; \; sin^{-1}\left (\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \right )=\theta \Rightarrow sin\theta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}$

$\Rightarrow tan\theta =\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )$

$\Rightarrow sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \right )=tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )\: \: .....\: (3)$

Question 13: Prove the following

$tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{\sqrt{1+x^{2}}+\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}{\sqrt{1+x^{2}}-\sqrt{1-x^{2}}} \right )=\frac{\pi }{4}+\frac{1}{2}cos^{-1}x^{2}$

$Ans:\; x=0,\; \pm \frac{1}{2}$

Question 17:

$\theta =sin^{-1}\left \{ sin(-600^{o}) \right \}$ then find the value of θ

Q 18. Simplifying the following

$(i)\; \; \; cos^{-1}\left ( \frac{3}{5}cosx+\frac{4}{5}sinx \right )$

$Ans\; \left [ x-tan^{-1}\frac{4}{3} \right ]$

$(ii)\; \; \; sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{5}{13}cosx+\frac{12}{13}sinx \right )$

Solution (ii):

$Let\; \; \frac{5}{13}=rsin\theta \; \; and\; \; \frac{12}{13}=rcos\theta$

$\sqrt{\left ( \frac{5}{13} \right )^{2}+\left ( \frac{12}{13} \right )^{2}}= \sqrt{r^{2}sin^{2}\theta +r^{2}cos^{2}\theta}$

$\sqrt{\frac{25}{169}+\frac{144}{169}}=\sqrt{r^{2}\left ( sin^{2}\theta +cos^{2}\theta \right )}$

$\sqrt{\frac{169}{169}}=r=1$

$sin\theta =\frac{5}{13}\: \: and\: \: cos\theta =\frac{12}{13}$

$tan\theta =\frac{sin\theta }{cos\theta }=\frac{5}{12}\Rightarrow \theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{5}{12} \right )$

$sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{5}{13}cosx+\frac{12}{13}sinx \right )=sin^{-1}\left ( sin\theta \; cosx+cos\theta\; sinx \right )$

$=sin^{-1}\left [ sin\left ( x+\theta \right ) \right ]=x+\theta =x+tan^{-1}\frac{5}{12}$

Question 19:

$If\;\; (tan^{-1}x)^{2}+(cot^{-1}x)^{2}=\frac{5\pi^{2} }{8},\; then\; find\; \; x.$

Solution :
$(tan^{-1}x)^{2}+(cot^{-1}x)^{2}=\frac{5\pi^{2} }{8},$

$(tan^{-1}x)^{2}+(cot^{-1}x)^{2}+2tan^{-1}xcot^{-1}x-2tan^{-1}xcot^{-1}x =\frac{5\pi^{2} }{8}$

$(tan^{-1}x+cot^{-1}x)^{2}-2tan^{-1}xcot^{-1}x =\frac{5\pi^{2} }{8}$

$\left (\frac{\pi }{2} \right )^{2}-2tan^{-1}x\left ( \frac{\pi }{2}-tan^{-1}x \right ) =\frac{5\pi^{2} }{8}$

$\frac{\pi^{2} }{4}-\pi tan^{-1}x+2(tan^{-1}x)^{2}=\frac{5\pi ^{2}}{8}$

$2(tan^{-1}x)^{2}-\pi tan^{-1}x-\frac{3\pi ^{2}}{8} =0$

$Putting\; \; tan^{-1}x = p,\; we\; get$

$2p^{2}-\pi p-\frac{3\pi ^{2}}{8}=0$
