4. If cot (cos-1 3/5 + sin-1 x) = 0, find the value of x.

Solution:
Given cot (cos-1 3/5 + sin-1 x) = 0
On rearranging we get,
(cos-1 3/5 + sin-1 x) = cot-1 (0)
(Cos-1 3/5 + sin-1 x) = π/2
We know that cos-1 x + sin-1 x = π/2
Then sin-1 x = π/2 - cos-1 x
Substituting the above in (cos-1 3/5 + sin-1 x) = π/2 we get,
(Cos-1 3/5 + π/2 - cos-1 x) = π/2
Now on rearranging we get,
(Cos-1 3/5 - cos-1 x) = π/2 - π/2
(Cos-1 3/5 - cos-1 x) = 0
Therefore Cos-1 3/5 = cos-1 x
On comparing the above equation we get,

5. If (sin-1 x)2 + (cos-1 x)2 = 17 π2/36, find x.

Solution:
Given (sin-1 x)2 + (cos-1 x)2 = 17 π2/36
We know that cos-1 x + sin-1 x = π/2
Then cos-1 x = π/2 - sin-1 x
Substituting this in (sin-1 x)2 + (cos-1 x)2 = 17 π2/36 we get
(sin-1 x)2 + (π/2 - sin-1 x)2 = 17 π2/36
Let y = sin-1 x
y2 + ((π/2) – y)2 = 17 π2/36
y2 + π2/4 – y2 – 2y ((π/2) – y) = 17 π2/36
π2/4 – πy + 2 y2 = 17 π2/36
On rearranging and simplifying, we get
2y2 - πy + 2/9 π2 = 0
18y2 - 9 πy + 2 π2 = 0
18y2 - 12 πy + 3 πy + 2 π2 = 0
6y (3y - 2π) + π (3y - 2π) = 0
Now, (3y - 2π) = 0 and (6y + π) = 0
Therefore y = 2π/3 and y = - π/6
Now substituting y = - π/6 in y = sin-1 x we get
sin-1 x = - π/6
x = sin (- π/6)
x = -1/2
Now substituting y = -2π/3 in y = sin-1 x we get
x = sin (2π/3)
x = √3/2
Now substituting x = √3/2 in (sin-1 x)2 + (cos-1 x)2 = 17 π2/36 we get,
= π/3 + π/6
= π/2 which is not equal to 17 π2/36
So we have to neglect this root.
Now substituting x = -1/2 in (sin-1 x)2 + (cos-1 x)2 = 17 π2/36 we get,
= π2/36 + 4 π2/9
= 17 π2/36
Hence x = -1/2.
