Inverse Trigonometric Functions Question 168

Question: The value of x which satisfies the equation $ {{\tan }^{-1}}x= $

$ {{\sin }^{-1}}( \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}} ) $ is

[Pb. CET 1999]

Options:

A) 3

B) -3

C) $ \frac{1}{3} $

D) $ -\frac{1}{3} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Given, $ {{\tan }^{-1}}x={{\sin }^{-1}}[ \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}} ] $

Therefore $ x=\tan { {{\sin }^{-1}}[ \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}} ] }=\tan {{{\tan }^{-1}}3} $

Therefore x = 3.
