Question

Let S = {x:cos1x=π+sin1x+sin1[2x+1]}\left\{ x : \cos^{-1} x = \pi + \sin^{-1} x + \sin^{-1} [2x + 1] \right\}. Then xS(2x1)2\sum\limits_{x \in S} (2x - 1)^2 is equal to _______.

Answer: 1

Solution

cos1x=π+sin1x+sin1(2x+1)2cos1xsin1(2x+1)=3π22αβ=3π2 where cos1x=α,sin1(2x+1)=β2α=3π2+βcos2α=sinβ2cos2α1=sinβ2x21=2x+1x2x1=0x=152,{x=1+52 rejected }4x24x=4(2x1)2=5\begin{aligned} & \cos ^{-1} x=\pi+\sin ^{-1} x+\sin ^{-1}(2 x+1) \\ & 2 \cos ^{-1} x-\sin ^{-1}(2 x+1)=\frac{3 \pi}{2} \\ & 2 \alpha-\beta=\frac{3 \pi}{2} \text { where } \cos ^{-1} x=\alpha, \sin ^{-1}(2 x+1)=\beta \\ & 2 \alpha=\frac{3 \pi}{2}+\beta \\ & \cos 2 \alpha=\sin \beta \\ & \begin{array}{l} 2 \cos ^2 \alpha-1=\sin \beta \\ 2 x^2-1=2 x+1 \\ x^2-x-1=0 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2},\left\{x=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2} \text { rejected }\right\} \\ \therefore 4 x^2-4 x=4 \\ (2 x-1)^2=5 \end{array} \end{aligned}
