Inverse Trigonometric Functions Question 66

Question: The solutions set of the equations $ {{\sin }^{-1}}x=2{{\tan }^{-1}}x $ is

Options:

A) $ { 1,2 } $

B) $ { -1,2 } $

C) $ { -1,1,0 } $

D) $ { 1,1/2,0 } $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

$ {{\sin }^{-1}}x=2{{\tan }^{-1}}x $

$ \Rightarrow {{\sin }^{-1}}x={{\sin }^{-1}}{2x/(1+x^{2})} $

$ \Rightarrow 2x/(1+x^{2})=x $

$ \Rightarrow x(x+1)(x-1)=0\Rightarrow x={-1,1,0} $
