8π240π+508\pi^2 - 40\pi + 50

C

4π220π+504\pi^2 - 20\pi + 50

D

2525

Answer

8π240π+508\pi^2 - 40\pi + 50

Explanation

Solution

Calculate a=sin1(sin(5))a = \sin^{-1}(\sin(5)). To find aa, note that sin1(sin(x))\sin^{-1}(\sin(x)) gives a result in the range [π2,π2]\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right].

Since 5 is outside this range, we need to adjust it. We have:

a=sin1(sin(5))=52π.a = \sin^{-1}(\sin(5)) = 5 - 2\pi.

Thus,

a=52π.a = 5 - 2\pi.

Calculate b=cos1(cos(5))b = \cos^{-1}(\cos(5)). To find bb, note that cos1(cos(x))\cos^{-1}(\cos(x)) gives a result in the range [0,π][0, \pi].

Since 5 is within this range, we can write:

b=cos1(cos(5))=2π5.b = \cos^{-1}(\cos(5)) = 2\pi - 5.

Calculate a2+b2a^2 + b^2. Now, substitute a=52πa = 5 - 2\pi and b=2π5b = 2\pi - 5:

a2+b2=(52π)2+(2π5)2.a^2 + b^2 = (5 - 2\pi)^2 + (2\pi - 5)^2.

Expanding both terms:

=(52π)2+(2π5)2=(2520π+4π2)+(4π220π+25).= (5 - 2\pi)^2 + (2\pi - 5)^2 = (25 - 20\pi + 4\pi^2) + (4\pi^2 - 20\pi + 25).

Combine like terms:

=8π240π+50.= 8\pi^2 - 40\pi + 50.

Thus, the answer is:

8π240π+508\pi^2 - 40\pi + 50
