Question: If \(\sin \left( \cot ^ { - 1 } ( x + 1 ) = \cos \left( \tan ^ { - 1 } x \right) \right.\), then x =...
If sin(cot−1(x+1)=cos(tan−1x), then x =
A
−21
B
21
C
0
D
49
Answer
−21
Explanation
Solution
sin[cot−1(x+1)]=sin(sin−1x2+2x+21)
=x2+2x+21
cos(tan−1x)=cos(cos−11+x21)=1+x21
Thus, x2+2x+21=1+x21
⇒x2+2x+2=1+x2 ⇒ x=−21 .
