Inverse Trigonometric Functions Question 32

Question: The value of $ \sin ( 2{{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{1}{3} ) )+\cos ({{\tan }^{-1}}2\sqrt{2})= $

[AMU 1999]

Options:

A) $ \frac{16}{15} $

B) $ \frac{14}{15} $

C) $ \frac{12}{15} $

D) $ \frac{11}{15} $

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ \sin [ 2{{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{1}{3} ) ]+\cos [{{\tan }^{-1}}(2\sqrt{2})] $ = $ \sin [ {{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{2/3}{1-1/9} ]+\cos [{{\tan }^{-1}}(2\sqrt{2})] $

$ =\sin [{{\tan }^{-1}}3/4]+\cos [{{\tan }^{-1}}2\sqrt{2}] $

$ =\frac{3}{5}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{14}{15} $ .
