Class 12 Maths · Inverse Trigonometric Functions · Short Answer #58

Prove \(\sin^{-1}(2x\sqrt{1-x^2})=2\cos^{-1}x\) for \(1/\sqrt2\le x\le1\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Identity proved on [1/√2,1].
  1. Let θ=arccos x. The domain gives 0≤θ≤π/4 and √(1−x²)=sin θ.
  2. Then 2x√(1−x²)=2cos θ sin θ=sin2θ, with 2θ∈[0,π/2].
  3. Therefore arcsin(2x√(1−x²))=2θ=2arccos x, as required.

  • [0.5 marks] Let θ=arccos x. The domain gives 0≤θ≤π/4 and √(1−x²)=sin θ.
  • [1 mark] Then 2x√(1−x²)=2cos θ sin θ=sin2θ, with 2θ∈[0,π/2].
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore arcsin(2x√(1−x²))=2θ=2arccos x, as required.
