A value of x satisfying the equation sin ⁡ cot - 1 ⁡ 1 + x = cos ⁡ tan - 1 ⁡ x , is:
Options
- A- 1 2
- B0
- C- 1
- D1 2
Correct answer
A. - 1 2
Step-by-step solution
sin cot - 1 ( 1 + x ) = cos tan - 1 x Let, cot λ = 1 + x tan β = x ⇒ sin λ = cos β ⇒ 1 x 2 + 2 x + 2 = 1 1 1 + x 2 ⇒ x 2 + 2 x + 2 = x 2 + 1 ⇒ x = - 1 / 2
