- B3 4
- C7 2
- D9 2
Correct answer
C. 7 2
Step-by-step solution
Given equation: ⁻¹ ( x 1 - x ) = 8 Using the half-angle trigonometric identities, we can simplify the argument of the inverse tangent function: x = 2 ( x 2 ) ( x 2 ) 1 - x = 2 ^2 ( x 2 ) Substituting these into the fraction: x 1 - x = 2 ( x 2 ) ( x 2 ) 2 ^2 ( x 2 ) = ( x 2 ) The equation becomes: ⁻¹ ( ( x 2 ) ) = 8 Taking the tangent of both sides: ( x 2 ) = ( 8 ) Using the complementary angle identity = ( 2 - ) : ( 2 - x 2 ) = ( 8 ) The general solution for A = B is A = n + B , where n is an integer: 2 - x 2 = n +
