Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given ƒ(x) = (sin(tan–1x) + sin(cot–1x))2 – 1

= (sin(tan–1x) + sin( π2{\pi \over 2} - tan–1x))2 – 1

= (sin(tan–1x) + cos(tan–1x))2 – 1

= sin2(tan–1x) + cos2(tan–1x) + 2sin(tan–1x)cos(tan–1x) + 1

= 1 + sin(2tan–1x) - 1

= sin(2tan–1x)

Also given dydx=12ddx(sin⁡−1(f(x))){{dy} \over {dx}} = {1 \over 2}{d \over {dx}}\left( {{{\sin }^{ - 1}}\left( {f\left( x \right)} \right)} \right)

Integrating both sides we get

y = 12{1 \over 2} sin-1 (f(x)) + C

= 12{1 \over 2} sin-1 (sin(2tan–1x)) + C

Given y(3)=π6y\left( {\sqrt 3 } \right) = {\pi \over 6} mean x = 3\sqrt 3 and y = π6{\pi \over 6}

∴\therefore π6{\pi \over 6} = 12{1 \over 2} sin-1 (sin(2tan–1 3\sqrt 3 )) + C

⇒\Rightarrow π6{\pi \over 6} = 12{1 \over 2} sin-1 (sin(2 ×\times π3{\pi \over 3} )) + C

⇒\Rightarrow π6{\pi \over 6} = 12{1 \over 2} sin-1 ( 32{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2} ) + C

⇒\Rightarrow π6{\pi \over 6} = 12{1 \over 2} ×\times π3{\pi \over 3} + C

⇒\Rightarrow C = 0

Now y( −3{ - \sqrt 3 } ) means when x = −3{ - \sqrt 3 } then find y.

y = 12{1 \over 2} sin-1 (sin(2tan–1x))

= 12{1 \over 2} sin-1 (sin(2tan–1( −3{ - \sqrt 3 } )))

= 12{1 \over 2} sin-1 (sin(-2tan–1( 3{ \sqrt 3 } )))

= 12{1 \over 2} sin-1 (sin(-2 ×\times π3{\pi \over 3} ))

= 12{1 \over 2} sin-1 (-sin(2 ×\times π3{\pi \over 3} ))

= 12{1 \over 2} sin-1 (- 32{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2} )

= 12{1 \over 2} ×\times -sin-1 ( 32{{\sqrt 3 } \over 2} )

= 12{1 \over 2} ×\times - π3{\pi \over 3}

= - π6{\pi \over 6}
