NCERT Solutions for CBSE Class 12th Maths, Chapter 2: Inverse Trigonometric Functions (Exercise 2.2) are given below

Question 1: 3 sin^‒1x = sin^‒1 (3x ‒ 4x³), x ϵ [‒1/2, 1/2]

Solution 1:

Let x = sin ϕ

Solving RHS

sin^‒1(3x ‒ 4x³) = sin^‒1[3sin ϕ ‒ 4 sin³ ϕ] = sin^‒1(sin3 ϕ) = 3 ϕ.

Question 2: 3 cos^‒1x = cos^‒1 (4x³ ‒ 3x), x ϵ [1/2, 1]

Solution 2:

Let x = cos ϕ

Then, ϕ = cos^‒1 x

RHS = cos^‒1[4x³ ‒ 3x]

Question 3: tan^‒1(2/11) + tan^‒1(7/24) = tan^‒1(1/2)

Solution 3:

LHS = tan^‒1(2/11) + tan^‒1(7/24)

As, tan^‒1 x + tan^‒1 y = tan^‒1 [(x + y)/1 ‒ xy)]

Putting x = 2/11 and y = 7/24 and solving, we have

tan^‒1(2/11) + tan^‒1(7/24) = tan^‒1 (1/2) = RHS.

Question 4: 2 tan^‒1 (1/2) + tan^‒1(1/7) = tan^‒1(31/17)

Solution 4:

As, 2tan^‒1x = tan^‒1 [2x/(1 ‒ x²)

Using above formula, we can write 2 tan^‒1 (1/2) = tan^‒1 (4/3)

Now, 2 tan^‒1 (1/2) + tan^‒1(1/7) = tan^‒1 (4/3) + tan^‒1(1/7)

We know that,

tan^‒1 x + tan^‒1 y = tan^‒1 [(x + y)/1 ‒ xy)]

Putting x = 4/3 and y = 1/7 in above formula and solving we have, 

tan^‒1 (4/3) + tan^‒1(1/7) = tan^‒1(31/17).
