Solve for $x$: $\sin^{-1}(1 - x) - 2 \sin^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2}$. |
$0, \frac{1}{2}$ $1, \frac{1}{2}$ $0$ $\frac{1}{2}$ |
$0$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 0 ## $\sin^{-1}(1 - x) - 2 \sin^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2}$ $\Rightarrow (1 - x) = \sin \left( \frac{\pi}{2} + 2 \sin^{-1} x \right)$ $\Rightarrow (1 - x) = \cos(2 \sin^{-1} x)$ $\Rightarrow 1 - x = 1 - 2x^2$ $\Rightarrow 2x^2 - x = 0$ $\Rightarrow x = 0, x = \frac{1}{2}$ Since $x = \frac{1}{2}$ does not satisfy the given equation, $∴x = 0$ is the required solution. |
