Question 1.
Prove that sin-1\(\frac{4}{5}\) + sin-1\(\frac{7}{25}\) = sin-1\(\frac{117}{125}\). [Mar. ’16(TS), ’13]
Answer:
Let sin-1\(\frac{4}{5}\) = A and sin-1\(\frac{7}{25}\) = B
Then sin A = \(\frac{4}{5}\) and sin B = \(\frac{7}{25}\)
∴ cos A = \(\frac{3}{5}\) and cos B = \(\frac{24}{25}\)
∴ sin (A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B
Question 2.
Prove that sin-1\(\frac{3}{5}\) + sin-1\(\frac{8}{17}\) = cos-1\(\frac{36}{85}\). [Mar. ’19(TS); May ’12, ’09]
Answer:
Let sin-1\(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\)
sin A = \(\frac{3}{5}\);
cot A = \(\frac{4}{5}\)
Let sin-1\(\left(\frac{8}{17}\right)\) = B
sin B = \(\frac{8}{17}\);
cos B = \(\frac{15}{17}\)
Let cos-1\(\left(\frac{36}{85}\right)\) = C
cos C = \(\frac{36}{85}\)
∴ A + B = C
cos (A + B) = cos C
L.H.S = cos (A + B) = cos A cos B – sin A sin B
= \(\frac{4}{5} \cdot \frac{15}{17}-\frac{3}{5} \cdot \frac{8}{17}=\frac{60}{85}-\frac{24}{85}=\frac{36}{85}\)
= RHS
∴ sin-1\(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\) + sin-1\(\left(\frac{8}{17}\right)\) = cos-1\(\left(\frac{36}{85}\right)\)

sin A = \(\frac{3}{5}\) and sin B = \(\frac{5}{13}\)
∴ cos A = \(\frac{4}{5}\) and
cos B = \(\frac{12}{13}\)
∴ cos (A + B) = cos A cos B – sin A sin B
= \(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)-\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)\)
= \(\frac{33}{65}\)
Question 6.

Put x = tan θ then
= sin[cot-1\(\left(\frac{2 \tan \theta}{1-\tan ^2 \theta}\right)\) + cos-1\(\left(\frac{1-\tan ^2 \theta}{1+\tan ^2 \theta}\right)\)]
= sin[cot-1(tan 2θ) + cos-1(cos 2θ)]
= sin[cot-1(cot(\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) – 2θ)) + cos-1(cos 2θ)]
= sin[\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) – 2θ + 2θ] = sin\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = 1 = R.H.S
Question 13.
If cos-1p + cos-1q + cos-1r = π then prove that p2 + q2 + r2 + 2pqr = 1. [Mar ’04; Mar. ’01, ’99]
Answer:
Given cos-1p + cos-1q + cos-1r = π
Let cos-1p = A ⇒ cos A = p
Let cos-1q = B ⇒ cos B = q
Let cos-1r = C ⇒ cos C = r
A + B + C = π ⇒ A + B = π – C
cos(A + B) = cos (π – C)
⇒ cos A. cos B – sin A . sin B = – cos C
cos A cos B – \(\sqrt{1-\cos ^2 \mathrm{~A}} \cdot \sqrt{1-\cos ^2 \mathrm{~B}}\) = -cos C
pq – \(\sqrt{1-p^2} \sqrt{1-q^2}\) = -r
pq + r = \(\sqrt{1-p^2} \sqrt{1-q^2}\)
Squaring on both sides
(pq + r)2 = (1 – p2)(1 – q2)
p2q2 + r2 + 2pqr = 1 – q2 – p2 + p2q2
∴ p2 + q2 + r2 + 2pqr = 1.
Question 14.
If sin-1\(\left(\frac{2 p}{1+p^2}\right)\) – cos-1\(\left(\frac{1-q^2}{1+q^2}\right)\) = tan-1\(\left(\frac{2 x}{1-x^2}\right)\) then prove that x = \(\frac{\mathbf{p}-\mathbf{q}}{1+\mathbf{p q}}\). [May ’98]

Question 15.
If sin-1x + sin-1y + sin-1z = π, then prove that x\(\sqrt{1-x^2}\) + y\(\sqrt{1-y^2}\) + z\(\sqrt{1-z^2}\) = 2xyz. [Mar. ’06; May ’05, ’97]
Answer:
Given sin-1x + sin-1y + sin-1z = π
Let sin-1x = A ⇒ sin A = x
sin-1y = B ⇒ sin B = y
sin-1z = C ⇒ sin C = z
∴ A + B + C = π
= 2sin\(\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~A}+2 \mathrm{~B}}{2}\right)\) cos\(\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~A}-2 \mathrm{~B}}{2}\right)\) + sin 2C
= 2 sin (A + B) cos (A – B) + sin 2C
= 2 sin (π – C) cos (A – B) + sin 2C
= 2 sin C cos (A – B) + 2 sin C cos C
= 2 sin C [cos (A – B) + cos C]
= 2 sin C [cos(A – B) + cos (π – (A + B))]
= 2 sin C [cos (A – B) – cos (A + B)]
= 2 sin C (2 sin A. sin B)
= 4 sin A sin B sin C
∴ sin 2A + sin 2B + sin 2C = 4 sin A sin B sin C
⇒ 2 sin A cos A + 2 sin B cos B + 2 sin C cos C = 4 sin A sin B sin C
⇒ sin A cos A + sin B cos B + sin C cos C = 2 sin A sin B sin C
⇒ sin\(\sqrt{1-\sin ^2 \mathrm{~A}}\) + sin B\(\sqrt{1-\sin ^2 \mathrm{~B}}\) + sin C\(\sqrt{1-\sin ^2 \mathrm{~C}}\) = 2sin A sin B sin C
∴ x\(\sqrt{1-x^2}\) + y\(\sqrt{1-y^2}\) + z\(\sqrt{1-z^2}\) = 2xyz
Question 16.
If tan-1x + tan-1y + tan-1z = π, then prove that x + y + z = xyz. [Mar. ’03]
Answer:
Given tan-1x + tan-1y + tan-1z = π
Let tan-1x = A ⇒ tan A = x
Let tan-1y = B ⇒ tan B = y
Let tan-1z = C ⇒ tan B = y
∴ A + B + C = π ⇒ A + B = π – C
tan (A + B) = tan(π – C) ⇒ \(\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A \tan B}\)
= -tan C
\(\frac{x+y}{1-x y}\) = -z ⇒ x + y = -z + xyz
∴ x + y + z = xyz
Question 17.
Solve tan-1\(\left(\frac{x-1}{x-2}\right)\) + tan-1\(\left(\frac{x+1}{x+2}\right)=\frac{\pi}{4}\).
Answer:
Question 18.
Solve 3sin-1\(\left(\frac{2 x}{1+x^2}\right)\) – 4cos-1\(\left(\frac{1-x^2}{1+x^2}\right)\) + 2tan-1\(\left(\frac{2 x}{1-x^2}\right)=\frac{\pi}{3}\). [Mar. ’09]
Answer:
3sin-1(sin 2θ) – 4cos-1(cos 2θ) + 2tan-1(tan 2θ) = \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
3(2θ) – 4(2θ) + 2(2θ) = \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
⇒ 6θ – 8θ + 4θ = \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)
2θ = \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) ⇒ θ = \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
⇒ tan θ = tan \(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
∴ x = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Question 1.
Prove that sin-1\(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\) + sin-1\(\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)\) + sin-1\(\left(\frac{16}{65}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}\). [Mar ’18(AP)]
Answer:
Let sin-1\(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\) = A and sin-1\(\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)\) = B
∴ sin A = \(\frac{4}{5}\) and sin B = \(\frac{5}{13}\)
∴ cos A = \(\frac{3}{5}\) and cos B = \(\frac{12}{13}\)
Also cos (α + β) = cos α cos β – sin α sin β
= \(\frac{3}{5} \cdot \frac{12}{13}-\frac{4}{5} \cdot \frac{5}{13}=\frac{16}{65}\)
∴ α + β = cos-1\(\left(\frac{16}{65}\right)\) ⇒ sin-1\(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\) + sin-1\(\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)\) = cos-1\(\left(\frac{16}{65}\right)\)
L.H.S = sin-1\(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\) + sin-1\(\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)\) + sin-1\(\left(\frac{16}{65}\right)\) = cos-1\(\left(\frac{16}{65}\right)\) + sin-1\(\left(\frac{16}{65}\right)\) = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
Question 2.
Prove that cot-19 + cosec-1\(\frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}=\frac{\pi}{4}\).
Answer:
Let cot-19 = α
Let cosec-1\(\frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}\) = β
⇒ cot α = 9 ⇒ cosec β = \(\frac{\sqrt{41}}{4}\)
⇒ tan α = \(\frac{1}{9}\) ⇒ tan β = \(\frac{4}{5}\)
From the figure
Take tan (α + β) = \(\frac{\tan \alpha+\tan \beta}{1-\tan \alpha \cdot \tan \beta}\)
Question 3.
Prove that sin-1\(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\) + 2tan-1\(\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}\)

tan-1\(\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\) = B then tan B = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Question 4.
If cos-1\(\frac{p}{a}\) + cos-1\(\frac{q}{b}\) = α, then prove that \(\frac{p^2}{a^2}-\frac{2 p q}{a b}\)cos α + \(\frac{q^2}{b^2}\) = sin2α
Answer:
Given cos-1\(\frac{p}{a}\) + cos-1\(\frac{q}{b}\) = α
Question 5.
Solve sin-1\(\left(\frac{5}{x}\right)\) + sin-1\(\left(\frac{12}{x}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2}\), (x > 0)
Answer:
Let sin-1\(\left(\frac{5}{x}\right)\) = A and sin-1\(\left(\frac{12}{x}\right)\) = B then
sin A = \(\frac{5}{x}\) and sin B = \(\frac{12}{x}\)(x > 0)
∴ Now α + β = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) ⇒ sin α = sin(\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) – β)
= cos β ⇒ \(\frac{5}{x}=\sqrt{1-\frac{144}{x^2}}\)
⇒ \(\frac{25}{x^2}=1-\frac{144}{x^2} \Rightarrow \frac{169}{x^2}\) = 1 ⇒ x2 = 169
⇒ x = ±13 But x = 13(∵ x > 0)
Question 6.
Prove that sin-1\(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\) + cos-1\(\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)\) = cos-1\(\left(\frac{33}{65}\right)\).
Answer:
Let sin-1\(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\) = A and cos-1\(\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)\) = B then
A + B ∈ (0, π)
∴ sin A = \(\frac{3}{5}\) and cos B = \(\frac{12}{13}\)
cos A = \(\frac{4}{5}\) and sin B = \(\frac{5}{13}\)
Consider cos(A + B) = cos A cos B – sin A sin B
= \(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)-\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)=\frac{48}{65}-\frac{15}{65}=\frac{33}{65}\)
A + B = cos-1\(\left(\frac{33}{65}\right)\)
⇒ sin-1\(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\) + cos-1\(\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)\) = cos-1\(\left(\frac{33}{65}\right)\)
Question 7.
Find the values of sin(cos-1\(\frac{3}{5}\) + cos-1\(\frac{12}{13}\)).

cos A = \(\frac{3}{5}\) and cos B = \(\frac{12}{13}\)
∴ sin A = \(\frac{4}{5}\) and sin B = \(\frac{5}{13}\)
∴ sin(A + B) = sin A cos B + cos A sin B
= \(\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)\left(\frac{12}{13}\right)+\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)=\frac{63}{65}\)
∴ sin(cos-1\(\frac{3}{5}\) + cos-1\(\frac{12}{13}\))

Answer:
Let a = tan-12 ⇒ tan α = 2
sec2α = 1 + tan2α = 1 + 4 = 5
Let β = cot-12 ⇒ cot β = 2
∴ cosec2β = 1 + cot2β = 1 + 4 = 5
∴ sec2 (tan-12) + cosec2 (cot-12)
= sec2α + cosec2β = 5 + 5 = 10

Answer:
Given tan-1x + tan-1y + tan-1z = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
tan-1x + tan-1y = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) – tan-1z
tan-1\(\left[\frac{x+y}{1-x y}\right]\) = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) – tan-1z
⇒ (x + y)z = 1 – xy
⇒ xz + yz = 1 – xy
⇒ xy + yz + zx = 1
