in the interval $\left[ { - {\pi \over 4},\,{{3\pi } \over 4}} \right]$ equals ..........
Explanation:
= $\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {{1 \over {\cos \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{k\pi } \over 2}} \right)\cos \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{(k + 1)\pi } \over 2}} \right)}}} $
= $\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {{{\sin \left[ {\left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{(k + 1)\pi } \over 2}} \right) - \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{k\pi } \over 2}} \right)} \right]} \over {\cos \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{k\pi } \over 2}} \right)\cos \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{(k + 1)\pi } \over 2}} \right)}}} $
$ \because $ $\left[ {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{(k + 1)\pi } \over 2} - \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{k\pi } \over 2}} \right) = {\pi \over 2}\,and\,sin{\pi \over 2} = 1} \right]$
$\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {{\matrix{ \sin \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{\left( {k + 1} \right)\pi } \over 2}} \right)\cos \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{k\pi } \over 2}} \right) \hfill \cr - \sin \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{k\pi } \over 2}} \right)\cos \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{\left( {k + 1} \right)\pi } \over 2}} \right) \hfill \cr} \over {\cos \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{k\pi } \over 2}} \right)\cos \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{\left( {k + 1} \right)\pi } \over 2}} \right)}}} $
= $\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {\left[ {\tan \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{(k + 1)\pi } \over 2}} \right) - \tan \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{k\pi } \over 2}} \right)} \right]} $
= $\tan \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {\pi \over 2}} \right) - \tan \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}}} \right) + \tan \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{2\pi } \over 2}} \right) - \tan \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {\pi \over 2}} \right)$ ....$ + \tan \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{11\pi } \over 2}} \right) - \tan \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{10\pi } \over 2}} \right)$
= $\tan \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{11\pi } \over 2}} \right) - \tan {{7\pi } \over {12}} = \tan {{7\pi } \over {12}} + \cot {\pi \over {12}}$
= ${1 \over {\sin {\pi \over {12}}\cos {\pi \over {12}}}} = {2 \over {\sin {\pi \over 6}}} = 4$
So, ${\sec ^{ - 1}}\left( {{1 \over 4}\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {\sec \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{k\pi } \over 2}} \right)\sec \left( {{{7\pi } \over {12}} + {{(k + 1)\pi } \over 2}} \right)} } \right)$
= ${\sec ^{ - 1}}$ (1) = 0
(Here, the inverse trigonometric functions sin$-$1 x and cos$-$1 x assume values in ${\left[ { - {\pi \over 2},{\pi \over 2}} \right]}$ and ${\left[ {0,\pi } \right]}$, respectively.)
Explanation:
${\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^\infty {} {x^{i + 1}} - x\sum\limits_{i = 1}^\infty {} {{\left( {{x \over 2}} \right)}^i}} \right)$
$ = {\pi \over 2} - {\cos ^1}\left( {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^\infty {} {{\left( {{{ - x} \over 2}} \right)}^i} - \sum\limits_{i = 1}^\infty {} {{\left( { - x} \right)}^i}} \right)$
$ \Rightarrow {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left[ {{{{x^2}} \over {1 - x}} - {{x.{x \over 2}} \over {1 - {x \over 2}}}} \right]$
$ = {\pi \over 2} - {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left[ {{{{{ - x} \over 2}} \over {1 + {x \over 2}}} - {{( - x)} \over {1 + x}}} \right]$
$ \because $ $\left[ {\sum\limits_{i = 1}^\infty {} {x^{i + 1}} = {x^2} + {x^3} + {x^4} + .... = {{{x^2}} \over {1 - x}}} \right]$ using sum of infinite terms of GP
$ \Rightarrow {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left[ {{{{x^2}} \over {1 - x}} - {{{x^2}} \over {2 - x}}} \right] = {\pi \over 2} - {\cos ^{ - 1}}\left[ {{x \over {1 + x}} - {x \over {2 + x}}} \right]$
$ \Rightarrow {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left[ {{{{x^2}} \over {1 - x}} - {{{x^2}} \over {2 - x}}} \right] = {\sin ^{ - 1}}\left[ {{x \over {1 + x}} - {x \over {2 + x}}} \right]$
$ \because $ $\left[ {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}x = {\pi \over 2} - {{\cos }^{ - 1}}x} \right]$
$ \Rightarrow {{{x^2}} \over {1 - x}} - {{{x^2}} \over {2 - x}} = {x \over {1 + x}} - {x \over {2 + x}}$
$ \Rightarrow {x^2}\left( {{{2 - x - 1 + x} \over {(1 - x)(2 - x)}}} \right) = x{{(2 + x - 1 - x)} \over {(1 + x)(2 + x)}}$
$ \Rightarrow {x \over {2 - 3x + {x^2}}} = {1 \over {2 + 3x + {x^2}}}$ or x = 0
$ \Rightarrow {x^3} + 3{x^2} + 2x = {x^2} - 3x + 2$
$ \Rightarrow {x^3} + 2{x^2} + 5x - 2 = 0$ or x = 0
Let $f(x) = {x^3} + 2{x^2} + 5x - 2$
$f'(x) = 3{x^2} + 4x + 5$
$f'(x) > 0,\,\forall x \in R$
$ \therefore $ ${x^3} + 2{x^2} + 5x - 2$ has only one real roots
Therefore, total number of real solution is 2.

$$f\left| {\sum\nolimits_{k = 1}^{n - 1} {\left( {\overrightarrow {{a_k}} \times \overrightarrow {{a_{k + 1}}} } \right)} } \right| = \left| {\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{n - 1} {\left( {\overrightarrow {{a_k}} .\,\overrightarrow {{a_{k + 1}}} } \right)} } \right|,$$
then the minimum value of $n$ is

Explanation:
The number of solutions of equations involving trigonometric functions and algebraic functions are found using graphs of the curves.
We know, ${\cos ^{ - 1}}(\cos x) = \left\{ \matrix{ x,\,if\,x \in [0,\pi ] \hfill \cr 2\pi - x,\,if\,x \in [\pi ,2\pi ] \hfill \cr - 2\pi + x,\,if\,x \in [2\pi ,3\pi ] \hfill \cr 4\pi - x,\,if\,x \in [3\pi ,4\pi ] \hfill \cr} \right.$

$y = {{10 - x} \over {10}} = 1 - {x \over {10}}$
From above figure, it is clear that $y = {{10 - x} \over {10}}$ and $y = {\cos ^{ - 1}}(\cos x)$ intersect at three distinct points, so number of solutions is 3.

$\cos \left( {{\pi \over 4} + x} \right)\cos 2x$ then possible value of $\sec x$ is
$S.$ $\,\,\,\,\,$ If $\cot \left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} } \right) = \sin \left( {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\left( {x\sqrt 6 } \right)} \right),\,\,x \ne 0,$
