Question: If -1 \< x \< 0 , then sin<sup>-1</sup>x equals...

If -1 < x < 0 , then sin-1x equals

A

π – cos-1 (1x2)\left( \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } \right)

B

tan-1 x1x2\frac { x } { \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } }

C

–cot–1 (1x2x)\left( \frac { \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } } { x } \right)

D

cosec-1

Answer

tan-1 x1x2\frac { x } { \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } }

Explanation

Solution

Since -1< x < 0, -π/2 < sin –1x < 0.

Let sin-1 x = α i.e. sinα = x

Then tanα =x1x2\frac { x } { \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } } ⇒ α = tan-1x1x2\frac { x } { \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } }

⇒ sin-1x = tan-1x1x2\frac { x } { \sqrt { 1 - x ^ { 2 } } }
