Please solve RD Sharma class 12 chapter Inverse Trigonometric Function exercise 3.9 question 1 subquestion (i) maths textbook solution

Answers (1)

Answer:

        \frac{24}{25}

Hint:

        Take the negative sign out of the sine inverse bracket and after that cosine of a negative angle will be equal to cosine of the same positive angle.

This way you get rid of the negative sign

Concept:

        Inverse Trigonometry

Solution:

cos\, cos((\frac{-7}{25}))=cos\, cos(-(\frac{7}{25}))                                            (-x)=-(x)

                            =cos\, cos((\frac{7}{25}))                                            [cos\, cos(-\theta )=cos\, \theta ]

     Let\: \: \: sin^{-1}(\frac{7}{25})=x                .......(1)

                sin\, x=\frac{7}{25}

cos\, cos\, x=\sqrt{1-x}                                                                [x+x=1]

                 =\sqrt{1-(\frac{7}{25})^{2}}

                 =\sqrt{1-\frac{49}{625}}

                =\sqrt{\frac{625-49}{625}}

                =\sqrt{\frac{576}{625}}=\frac{24}{25}

\therefore x=cos^{-1}(\frac{24}{25})                                .......(2)

From (1) and (2)

        sin^{-1}(\frac{7}{25})=cos^{-1}(\frac{24}{25})          

        \therefore cos(sin^{-1}(\frac{7}{25}))=cos(cos^{-1}(\frac{24}{25}))

        \therefore cos(sin^{-1}(\frac{7}{25}))=\frac{24}{25}

Note: Try to convert the inner inverse term to the inverse of outer trigo ratio or the trigo ratio that can be related directly to the outer trigo ratio using identities.
