Class 12 Maths · Inverse Trigonometric Functions · Long Answer #69

Prove \(\tan[\tfrac12\sin^{-1}(3/4)]=(4-\sqrt7)/3\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Identity proved.
  1. Let θ=arcsin(3/4)∈(0,π/2), so cos θ=√7/4.
  2. The half-angle identity gives tan(θ/2)=sin θ/(1+cos θ).
  3. Substituting gives tan(θ/2)=(3/4)/(1+√7/4)=3/(4+√7)=(4−√7)/3.
  4. Thus tan(½arcsin(3/4))=(4−√7)/3, with the positive acute half-angle branch justified.

  • [0.5 marks] Let θ=arcsin(3/4)∈(0,π/2), so cos θ=√7/4.
  • [1 mark] The half-angle identity gives tan(θ/2)=sin θ/(1+cos θ).
  • [1 mark] Substituting gives tan(θ/2)=(3/4)/(1+√7/4)=3/(4+√7)=(4−√7)/3.
  • [0.5 marks] Thus tan(½arcsin(3/4))=(4−√7)/3, with the positive acute half-angle branch justified.
