Question

Aditya Gupta · Answer

this is the definition of a conceptual doubt. lets take an eg. if x belongs to (pi/2, pi), then what is the value of sin-1(sinx) ?? clearly it cant be x since the range of sin-1 is [ – pi/2, pi/2] while x lies in (pi/2, pi) acc to our assumption. hence we need to write sin-1(sinx)= sin-1(sin(pi – x))= pi – x, clearly pi – x lies in (0, pi/2) which is a subset of [ – pi/2, pi/2]. now, instead of letting x= cos^2y, we first define cos-1(sqrtx)= y.....(1) given that x lies in (0, 1/2) or sqrtx lies in (0, 1/sqrt2) or y=cos-1(sqrtx) lies in (pi/4, pi/2). from (1), we get x= cos^2y. so that f(x)= 2sin-1(|siny|) + sin-1(2|sinycosy|) (using sqrt(t^2)= |t| for all real t) since y lies in (pi/4, pi/2), both siny and cosy are positive (bcoz ½ is less than pi/2). however, 2y lies in (pi/2, pi). or pi – 2y lies in (0, pi/2). so, f(x)= 2sin-1(siny) + sin-1(sin2y) = 2y + sin-1(sin(pi – 2y)) = 2y + pi – 2y f(x) = pi so f’(x)= 0 KINDLY APPROVE :))
