NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 2 Inverse Trigonometric Functions · Miscellaneous Exercise Question 3

Prove 2sin⁻¹(3/5)=tan⁻¹(24/7).

💡 Concept Hints

  1. Recall the principal range of the inverse function before simplifying.
  2. Find an angle with the required trigonometric value, then verify it belongs to the principal range.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Both sides equal the same acute angle.
  1. Let θ=sin⁻¹(3/5). Then cos θ=4/5 and 0<θ<π/4 because 3/5<1/√2.
  2. tan 2θ=2(3/4)/(1−9/16)=24/7.
  3. Since 0<2θ<π/2, principal tan⁻¹(24/7)=2θ.
