Question: If minimum value of (sin<sup>–1</sup> x)<sup>2</sup> + (cos<sup>–1</sup> x)<sup>2</sup> is \(\frac{\...
If minimum value of (sin–1 x)2 + (cos–1 x)2 is kπ2, then the value of k is
A
(a) 4
B
6
C
8
D
None of these
Answer
8
Explanation
Solution
(sin–1 x)2 + (2π−sin−1x)2
= 2(sin–1 x)2 – p sin–1 x + 4π2
so minimum value is that expression is 8π2
so, k = 8
