Question

For kRk \in \mathbb{R}, let the solutions of the equation cos(sin1(xcot(tan1(cos(sin1x)))))=k,0<x<12\cos \left(\sin ^{-1}\left(x \cot \left(\tan ^{-1}\left(\cos \left(\sin ^{-1} x\right)\right)\right)\right)\right)=k, 0<|x|<\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} be α\alpha and β\beta, where the inverse trigonometric functions take only principal values. If the solutions of the equation x2bx5=0x^{2}-b x-5=0 are 1α2+1β2\frac{1}{\alpha^{2}}+\frac{1}{\beta^{2}} and αβ\frac{\alpha}{\beta}, then bk2\frac{b}{k^{2}} is equal to ____________.

Answer: 1

Solution

cos(sin1(xcot(tan1(cos(sin1)))))=k\cos \left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\left( {x\cot \left( {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\left( {\cos \left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}} \right)} \right)} \right)} \right)} \right) = k cos(sin1(xcot(tan11x2)))=k \Rightarrow \cos \left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\left( {x\cot \left( {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} } \right)} \right)} \right) = k cos(sin1(x1x2))=k \Rightarrow \cos \left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\left( {{x \over {\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }}} \right)} \right) = k 12x21x2=k \Rightarrow {{\sqrt {1 - 2{x^2}} } \over {\sqrt {1 - {x^2}} }} = k 12x21x2=k2 \Rightarrow {{1 - 2{x^2}} \over {1 - {x^2}}} = {k^2} 12x2=k2k2x2 \Rightarrow 1 - 2{x^2} = {k^2} - {k^2}{x^2} \therefore 1α2+1β2=2(k22k21){1 \over {{\alpha ^2}}} + {1 \over {{\beta ^2}}} = 2\left( {{{{k^2} - 2} \over {{k^2} - 1}}} \right) ...... (1) and αβ=1{\alpha \over \beta } = - 1 ...... (2) \therefore 2(k22k21)(1)=52\left( {{{{k^2} - 2} \over {{k^2} - 1}}} \right)( - 1) = - 5 k2=13 \Rightarrow {k^2} = {1 \over 3} and b=S.R=2(k22k21)1=4b = S.R = 2\left( {{{{k^2} - 2} \over {{k^2} - 1}}} \right) - 1 = 4 \therefore bk2=413=12{b \over {{k^2}}} = {4 \over {{1 \over 3}}} = 12
