(−7) (A.I.C.B.S.E. 2019; C)
Solution:

⇒ 2x2 – 8x + 8 = 0
⇒ x2 – 4x + 4 = 0
⇒ (x – 2)2 = 0.
Hence, x = 2.

Question 5.
Solve the following equation:
2 tan-1(sin x) = tan-1 (2 sec x), x ≠    (C.B.S.E. (F) 2012)
π

Solution:
2 tan-1(sinx) = tan-1 (2 secx)

-1 -1
⇒ tan -1 (2sec x tan x) = tan-1 (2sec x)
⇒ 2 sec x tan x = 2 sec x
tan x = 1 [∵ sec x ≠ 0 ]
Hence, x=
π

Question 6.

Question 9.
Solve for x : 2 tan-1 (cos x ) = tan-1(2 cosec x). (C.B.S.E. 2016)
Solution:
2 tan-1 (cos x ) = tan-1 (cos x) + tan-1 (cos x)
= tan-1 (2cot x cosec x) …(1)
Now 2 tan-1(cos x) = tan-1(2 cosec x)
⇒ tan-1(2 cot x cosec x) = tan-1 (2cosec x)
[Using (1)]
⇒ 2 cot x cosec x = 2 cosec x
⇒ cotx cosecx = cosec x
⇒  sin x = tan x sin x
⇒either sin x = 0 or tan x = 1.
Hence, x = nπ ∀ n ∈ Z or x
= πm + π

∀m∈Z

Question 10.
If tan-1 ( x−4 ) + tan-1 ( x+4 ) =
x−2 x+2
몭nd the value of ‘x’   (A.I.C.B.S.E. 2014)
π

Solution:
We have

⇒ 2x2 – 16 = -12
⇒ 2x2 = 16 – 12
⇒ 2x2 = 4
⇒ x2 = 2
Hence x = ±√2

Question 11.
If tan-1 ( x−4 ) + tan-1 ( x+4 ) =
x−3 x+3 π

4
몭nd the value of ‘x’ (A.I.C.B.S.E. 2017)
Solution:

⇒ 2x2 – 24 = -7
⇒ 2x2 = 17
⇒ 2x2 = 4
⇒ x2 = 17/2
−−
Hence x = ±√ 17

Question 12.
− 1−x
Prove that : tan−1 √x
1 −1
= cos ( )
2 1+x

x∈ [0,1] (C.B.S.E. 2019C)

Solution:
Let tan -1 √x = θ
So that √x = tan θ i.e. x = tan2θ

Question 13.
Solve for x : tan -1 (2x) + tan -1 (3x) = π

4
(C.B.S.E. 2019)
Solution:
The given equation is
tan -1 (2x) + tan -1 (3x) = π

4
…. (1)

⇒ 5x = 1 – 6x2
⇒ 6x2 + 5x – 1 = 0
⇒ x = -1 or x =
1

Hence, x = 1

[∵ x = -1 does not satisfy (1)]

Question 14.
Solve : tan-1 4x + tan-1 6x = (C.B.S.E. 2019)
π

Solution:
We have tan-1 4x + tan-1 6x = π

⇒ 10x = 1 – 24x2
⇒ 24x2 + 10x – 1 = 0
⇒ 24x2+ 12x – 2x – 1 = 0
⇒ 12x(2x + 1) – 1 (2x + 1) = 0
⇒ (2x+1)(12x – 1) = 0
⇒ 2x + 1 = 0 or 12x – 1 = 0
x = − 2 or x = .
1 1

Hence, x = − 2 or1 1

12

As x = − 12 does not satisfy the given equation.

Hence x = − 12

Question 15.
2

If (tan-1 x )2 + (cot-1 x )2 = 5π

8
, then 몭nd ‘x’ (C.B.S.E. 2015)
Solution:
We have
2

(tan-1 x )2 + (cot-1 x )2 =
5π

Put tan-1 x = t so that cot-1x = π

2
–t
2

∴ (1) become : t2 + ( π2 – t)2 = 5π

When tan-1x =
3π

then x = tan 3π

4
= -1.
When tan-1 x = − 4 ,
π

then x = tan(− π4 ) = -1.

Hence, x = -1.

Question 16.

Question 23.
Find the value of sin (2 tan-1 1/4) + cos (tan-1 2√2)   (C.B.S.E. Sample Paper 2018 – 2019)
Solution:
Put tan-1 1/4 = θ so that θ = 1/4
Now, sin 2θ =
2 tan θ
2
1+tan θ

To evaluate cos(tan-1 2√2) :

Put tan-12√2 = Φ
So that tan Φ = 2√2
cos Φ = 1/3
Hence, sin (2tan-1(1/4)) + cos (tan-12√2)
= sin 2θ + cos Φ = 8

Question 24.
Solve for x:
tan-1(x – 1) + tan-1x + tan-1(x + 1) = tan-1(3x).    (A.I.C.B.S.E. 2016)
The given equation is:
tan-1(x —1) + tan-1(x) + tan-1(x + 1) = tan-13x
tan-1(x— 1)+tan-1(x+ 1) = tan-13x – tan-1
⇒ 1 + 3x2 = 2 – x2
⇒ 4x2 = 1
⇒ x2 = 1/4
⇒x=±2
1

Hence, x = 0, ± 12
