. Then,



Question 12:
Find the value of 

Answer:

Question 13:
Find the value of 

Answer:
Let x = tan θ. Then, θ = tan−1 x.

Let y = tan Φ. Then, Φ = tan−1 y.

Question 14:
If
, then find the value of x.

Answer:

On squaring both sides, we get:


Hence, the value of x is

Question 15:
If
, then find the value of x.

Answer:

Hence, the value of x is 

Question 16:
Find the values of 

Answer:

We know that sin−1 (sin x) = x if
, which is the principal value branch of sin−1x.

Here,

Now,
can be written as:



Question 17:
Find the values of 

Answer:

We know that tan−1 (tan x) = x if
, which is the principal value branch of tan−1x.

Here,

Now,
can be written as:



Question 18:
Find the values of 

Answer:
Let
. Then,



Question 19:
Find the values of
is equal to

(A)
(B)
(C)
(D) 




Answer:
We know that cos−1 (cos x) = x if
, which is the principal value branch of cos −1x.

Here,

Now,
can be written as:

cos-1cos7π6 = cos-1cosπ+π6cos-1cos7π6 = cos-1- cosπ6 as, cosπ+θ = – cos θcos-1cos7π6 = cos-1- cosπ-5π6cos-1cos7π6 = cos-1– cos 5π6 as, cosπ-θ = – cos θ

The correct answer is B.
