Practicing Success
The values of x satisfying $tan(sec^{-1}x) = sin \left(cos^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)$, is (a) $±\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}$ (b) $±\frac{3}{\sqrt{5}}$ (c) $±\frac{\sqrt{3}}{5}$ (d) $±\frac{3}{5}$ |
(a), (b) (b) (b), (c) (c), (d) |
(b) |
We have, $tan(sec^{-1}x) = sin \left(cos^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\right)$ $⇒ \sqrt{sec^2(sec^{-1}x)-1}= sin \left(sin^{-1}\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\right)$ $⇒ \sqrt{x^2-1} =\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} ⇒ x = ± \frac{3}{\sqrt{5}}$ |
