(i) ±
(ii) x = 3 (iii) ±
(iv) x = 
Sol. (i) Let sin–1 x = θ
cos(2 θ ) =
⇒ 1 – 2 sin2 θ = 
sin2 θ =
⇒ x = sin θ = ± 
(ii) cot–1 x + tan–1 x =
. so x = 3
(iii) tan − 1
+ tan–1
= tan–1
= tan–1
= 
case- (I)
= 1 ⇒ x = ±
... (1)
If
⇒ x ∈ (–2, 2) ...(2)
from (1) & (2) x = ± 
case-(II) If 
⇒ x ∈ (– ∞ , –2) ∪ (2, ∞ ) ....(3)
tan–1
+ π = 
= 1 x = ±
.....(4)
from (3) & (4) ⇒ x ∈ φ
case-(III) ∴
= 1
no solution ⇒ x = ±
are the solutions
(iv) sin–1 x =
⇒ sin x sin–1 x = sin 
x =
⇒ x = 
1 – 4x2 = 0 x = ± 
But x = –
does not satisfy
x =
