If $k=\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{1}{2} \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\right)+\tan \left(\frac{1}{2} \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\right)$, then
the number of solutions of the equation $\sin ^{-1}(k x-1)=\sin ^{-1} x-\cos ^{-1} x$ is $\_\_\_\_$.
Explanation:
Given :
$ k=\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{1}{2} \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\right)+\tan \left(\frac{1}{2} \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\right) $
Let $\cos ^{-1} \frac{2}{3}=\theta$, so $\sin ^{-1} \frac{2}{3}=\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta$
$k=\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\theta}{2}\right)+\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\theta}{2}\right)$
$\Rightarrow $ $k=\frac{1+\tan \frac{\theta}{2}}{1-\tan \frac{\theta}{2}}+\frac{1-\tan \frac{\theta}{2}}{1+\tan \frac{\theta}{2}}$
$\Rightarrow $ $k=\frac{\left(1+\tan \frac{\theta}{2}\right)^2+\left(1-\tan \frac{\theta}{2}\right)^2}{\left(1-\tan \frac{\theta}{2}\right)\left(1+\tan \frac{\theta}{2}\right)}$
$\Rightarrow $ $k=\frac{1+\tan ^2 \frac{\theta}{2}+2 \tan \frac{\theta}{2}+1+\tan ^2 \frac{\theta}{2}-2 \tan \frac{\theta}{2}}{\left(1-\tan \frac{\theta}{2}\right)\left(1+\tan \frac{\theta}{2}\right)}$
$ k=\frac{2\left(1+\tan ^2 \frac{\theta}{2}\right)}{\left(1-\tan ^2 \frac{\theta}{2}\right)} $
Using the identity $\cos 2 x=\frac{1-\tan ^2 x}{1+\tan ^2 x}$ :
$k=\frac{2}{\cos \theta}$
$ \begin{aligned} & \text { Since } \theta=\cos ^{-1} \frac{2}{3} \Rightarrow \cos \theta=\frac{2}{3} \\ & k=\frac{2}{2 / 3}=3 \end{aligned} $
Solving the main equation :
$ \sin ^{-1}(k x-1)=\sin ^{-1} x-\cos ^{-1} x $
Put $k=3$ :
$\sin ^{-1}(3 x-1)=\sin ^{-1} x-\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\sin ^{-1} x\right)$
$\Rightarrow $ $\sin ^{-1}(3 x-1)=2 \sin ^{-1} x-\frac{\pi}{2}$ ......(1)
Domain of $\sin ^{-1}(3 x-1) \Rightarrow 3 x-1 \in[-1,1] \Rightarrow x \in\left[0, \frac{2}{3}\right]$
Domain of $\sin ^{-1} x \Rightarrow x \in[-1,1]$
Intersection domain of Equation 1 is $x \in\left[0, \frac{2}{3}\right]$
Take sine of both sides of Equation 1:
$ 3 x-1=\sin \left(2 \sin ^{-1} x-\frac{\pi}{2}\right) $
$\Rightarrow $ $ 3 x-1=-\cos \left(2 \sin ^{-1} x\right) $
Using $\cos 2 A=1-2 \sin ^2 A$ :
$ 3 x-1=-\left(1-2\left(\sin \left(\sin ^{-1} x\right)\right)^2\right) $
$\Rightarrow $ $3 x-1=2 x^2-1$
$\Rightarrow $ $3 x=2 x^2 \Rightarrow x(2 x-3)=0$
$\Rightarrow $ $ x=0 \text { or } x=\frac{3}{2} $
$\frac{3}{2}$ is outside the domain.
So, $x=0$ is the only solution.
Number of solutions $=1$.
Explanation:
$ f(x)=\left(\sin^{-1}x\right)^2+\left(\cos^{-1}x\right)^2,\qquad x\in\left[-\frac{\sqrt3}{2},\frac1{\sqrt2}\right] $
For $x\in[-1,1]$,
$ \sin^{-1}x+\cos^{-1}x=\frac{\pi}{2}. $
Let $a=\sin^{-1}x$. Then $\cos^{-1}x=\frac{\pi}{2}-a$, and
$ f= a^2+\left(\frac{\pi}{2}-a\right)^2 =2a^2-\pi a+\frac{\pi^2}{4}. $
This is a quadratic in $a$ opening upward, so its maximum on the allowed interval occurs at an endpoint of $a$.
Now,
$ x=-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\Rightarrow a=-\frac{\pi}{3},\qquad x=\frac1{\sqrt2}\Rightarrow a=\frac{\pi}{4}. $
Evaluate $f$:
At $a=\frac{\pi}{4}$: this is the vertex, giving the minimum.
At $a=-\frac{\pi}{3}$:
$ f=\left(-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)^2+\left(\frac{5\pi}{6}\right)^2 =\frac{\pi^2}{9}+\frac{25\pi^2}{36} =\frac{29\pi^2}{36}. $
Hence the maximum value is
$ \frac{m}{n}\pi^2=\frac{29}{36}\pi^2, $
with $\gcd(29,36)=1$.
$ \boxed{m+n=65} $
Considering only the principal values of the inverse trigonometric functions, the value of

Explanation:

Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \cos ^{-1} x=\pi+\sin ^{-1} x+\sin ^{-1}(2 x+1) \\ & 2 \cos ^{-1} x-\sin ^{-1}(2 x+1)=\frac{3 \pi}{2} \\ & 2 \alpha-\beta=\frac{3 \pi}{2} \text { where } \cos ^{-1} x=\alpha, \sin ^{-1}(2 x+1)=\beta \\ & 2 \alpha=\frac{3 \pi}{2}+\beta \\ & \cos 2 \alpha=\sin \beta \\ & \begin{array}{l} 2 \cos ^2 \alpha-1=\sin \beta \\ 2 x^2-1=2 x+1 \\ x^2-x-1=0 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2},\left\{x=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2} \text { rejected }\right\} \\ \therefore 4 x^2-4 x=4 \\ (2 x-1)^2=5 \end{array} \end{aligned}$
If for some $\alpha, \beta ; \alpha \leq \beta, \alpha+\beta=8$ and $\sec ^2\left(\tan ^{-1} \alpha\right)+\operatorname{cosec}^2\left(\cot ^{-1} \beta\right)=36$, then $\alpha^2+\beta$ is __________
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned} & \operatorname{If}\left(\tan \left(\tan ^{-1}(\alpha)\right)+1\left(\cot \left(\cot ^{-1} \beta\right)\right)^2=36\right. \\ & \alpha^2+\beta^2=34 \\ & \alpha \beta=15 \\ & \alpha=3, \beta=5 \\ & \therefore \alpha^2+\beta=9+5=14 \end{aligned}$
