Question

If sin−1 − cos−1 x = `pi/6` , then x = 

Options

  • `1/2`

  • `sqrt3/2`

  • `-1/2`

  • none of these

Solution

(b) `sqrt3/2`

We know that 

\[\sin^{- 1} x + \cos^{- 1} x = \frac{\pi}{2}\]
\[\therefore \sin^{- 1} x - \cos^{- 1} x = \frac{\pi}{6}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2} - \cos^{- 1} x - \cos^{- 1} x = \frac{\pi}{6}\]
\[ \Rightarrow - 2 \cos^{- 1} x = \frac{\pi}{6} - \frac{\pi}{2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow - 2 \cos^{- 1} x = - \frac{\pi}{3}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \cos^{- 1} x = \frac{\pi}{6}\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \cos\frac{\pi}{6}\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]
