Ex 2.1, 14 (Method 1)
Find the value of tan−1 √3 – sec−1(–2) is equal to
π (B) – π/3 (C) π/3 (D) 2π/3
Solving tan−1 √𝟑
Let y = tan−1 √3
tan y = √3
tan y = tan (𝝅/𝟑)
∴ y = 𝝅/𝟑
Since Range of tan−1 is ((−𝜋)/2,𝜋/2)
Hence, principal value is π/3
Solving sec−1 (–2)
Let y = sec−1 (–2)
y = 𝜋 − sec−1 (2)
y = 𝜋 − 𝝅/𝟑
y = 𝟐𝝅/𝟑
Since range of sec−1 is [0,π] – {π/2}
Hence, Principal Value is 𝟐𝛑/𝟑
We know that
cos−1 (−x) = 𝜋 − cos −1 x
Since sec a𝜋/3 = 2
𝜋/3 = sec−1 2
Solving sec−1 (–2)
Let y = sec−1 (–2)
y = 𝜋 − sec−1 (2)
y = 𝜋 − 𝝅/𝟑
y = 𝟐𝝅/𝟑
Since range of sec−1 is [0,π] – {π/2}
Hence, Principal Value is 𝟐𝛑/𝟑
We know that
cos−1 (−x) = 𝜋 − cos −1 x
Since sec a𝜋/3 = 2
𝜋/3 = sec−1 2
Solving cos−1 ((−𝟏)/𝟐)
Let y = cos−1 ((−1)/2)
y = 𝜋 − cos−1 (1/2)
y = 𝜋 − 𝝅/𝟑
y = 𝟐𝝅/𝟑
Since Range of cos−1 is [0 , 𝜋]
Hence, the Principal Value is 2π/3
We know that
cos−1 (−x) = 𝜋 − cos −1 x
Since cos 𝜋/3 = 1/2
𝜋/3 = cos−1 (1/2)
Now we have
tan−1 (√3) = π/3 & sec−1 (–2) = 2π/3
Solving
tan−1 √𝟑 – sec−1 (−2)
= π/3 − (2π/3)
= (π − 2π)/3
= (−𝛑)/𝟑
Hence , correct answer is (B)
Ex 2.1, 14 (Method 2)
Find the value of tan−1 √3 – sec−1(–2) is equal to
π (B) – π/3 (C) π/3 (D) 2π/3
Solving tan−1 √𝟑
Let y = tan−1 √3
tan y = √3
tan y = tan (𝝅/𝟑)
∴ y = 𝝅/𝟑
Since Range of tan−1 is ((−𝜋)/2,𝜋/2)
Hence, principal value is π/3
Solving sec−1 (–2)
Let y = sec−1 (–2)
sec y = −2
sec y = sec (𝟐𝝅/𝟑)
Since range of sec−1 is [0,π] – {π/2}
Hence, Principal Value is 2π/3
Now we have
tan−1 (√3) = π/3 & sec−1 (–2) = 2π/3
Solving
tan−1 √𝟑 – sec−1 (−2)
= π/3 − (2π/3)
= (π − 2π)/3
= (−𝛑)/𝟑
Hence , correct answer is (B)
