Sum of maximum and minimum values of
(sin–1 x)4 + (cos–1 x)4 is–
A
128137π2
B
17π4
C
1617π4
D
128137π4
Answer
128137π4
Explanation
Solution
S=tan−131+tan−192+tan−1334+....∞
tan−11+22n−12n−1=tan−11+2n.2n−12n−2n−1
= tan−12n−tan−12n−1
Sn = Sum of n term of the series
(tan−12−tan−11)+(tan−122−tan−12)+(tan−123−tan−122)
…………. (tan−12n−tan−12n−1)
= tan–1 2n – tan–1 1
S=limx→∞Sn=limn→∞tan–12n−π/4
= 2π−4π=4π
