Inverse Trigonometric Functions Question 86

Question: The complete solution set of $ {{[co{t^{-1}}x]}^{2}}-6[co{t^{-1}}x]+9\le 0, $ Where [.] denotes the greatest integer function, is

Options:

A) $ (-\infty ,\cot 3] $

B) $ [\cot 3,\cot 2) $

C) $ [\cot 3,\infty ) $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

$ {{[co{t^{-1}}x]}^{2}}-6[co{t^{-1}}x]+9\le 0 $

$ \Rightarrow {{([co{t^{-1}}x]-3)}^{2}}\le 0\Rightarrow [co{t^{-1}}x]=3 $

$ \Rightarrow 3\le {{\cot }^{-1}}x<4\Rightarrow x\in (-\infty ,\cot 3] $
