Question

The total number of real solutions of the equation = ^ -1 (2 )- 1 2 ^ -1 ( 6 9+ ^2 ) is (Here, the inverse trigonometric functions ^ -1 x and ^ -1 x assume values in [- 2 , 2 ] and (- 2 , 2 ), respectively.)

Options

  1. A. 1
  2. B. 2
  3. C. 3
  4. D. 5

Answer

C. 3

Step-by-step solution

Let = 1 2 ^ -1 ( 6 9+ ^2 ) aligned & = ^ -1 (2 )- \\ & + = ^ -1 (2 ) \\ & ( + )=2 \\ & + 1- =2 ....(1)\\ & 2 = 6 9+ ^2 = 2 1+ ^2 \\ & 3 +3 ^2 =9 + ^2 \\ & 3( -3 )= ( -3 ) \\ & = 3 or =3 aligned aligned & Case-I : =3 \\ & + 3 1- ^2 3 =2 aligned =0, 2 3 =1- ^2 3 =1,-1 =0,-1,1 aligned & Case-II : = 3 \\ & + 3 -2 =2 aligned
