The value of sech−1(sinθ) is
A) log(tan2θ)
B) log(sin2θ)
C) log(cos2θ)
D) log(cot2θ)
Solution
According to given in the question we have to find the value of the given trigonometric expression sech−1(sinθ) so, to solve the given trigonometric expression first of all we have to let the expression y now, to solve the obtained expression in form of y we have to convert the trigonometric terms sech−1(sinθ)in the form of cosh−1(cosecθ) with the help of the formula as given below:
Formula used:
secθ=cosθ1..................(1)
sinθ=cosecθ1...............(2)
Now, after obtaining the trigonometric expression in the form of cosh−1(cosecθ) and to solve the obtain expression we have to use the formula as given below:
cosh−1x=logx+x2−1....................(3)
After applying the formula (3) we will obtain the expression in form of cosec2θ to which we have to convert in the form of cotθwith the help of the formula given below:
cosec2θ−1=cot2θ................(4)
On solving the expression we have get the expression in the form of 1+cosθto which we have to covert in the form of cos2θwith the help of the formula given below:
1+cosθ=2cosec22θ.................(5)
sinθ=2sin2θcos2θ................(6)
Complete step by step answer:
Step 1: To find the value of the given trigonometric expression sech−1(sinθ) first of all we have to let the expression y
y=sech−1(sinθ)
And on solving the inverse we can write the expression in the form as given below:
sechy=sinθ
Step 2: Now, to solve the obtained expression in form of y we have to convert the trigonometric terms sech−1(sinθ) in the form of cosh−1(cosecθ) with the help of the formulas (1) and (2) as mentioned in the solution hint.
sinθ1=sechy1
After cross-multiplication,
coshy=cosecθ ⇒y=cosh−1(cosecθ)
Step 3: Now, to solve the obtained expression just above we have to use the formula (3) as mentioned in the solution hint.
⇒y=logcosecθ+cosec2θ−1
Step 4: Now, to solve the obtained expression just above have to convert cosec2θ in the form of cotθ with the help of the formula (4) as mentioned in the solution hint.
⇒y=log∣cosecθ+cotθ∣
On solving the obtained expression,
⇒y=logsinθ1+sinθcosθ ⇒y=logsinθ1+cosθ
Step 5: Now, we have to convert 1+cosθ in the form of cos2θwith the help of the formulas (5) and (6) as mentioned in the solution hint.
y=log2sin2θcos2θ2cos22θ
Eliminating cos2θ from numerator and denominator,
⇒y=logsin2θcos2θ ⇒y=logcot2θ ⇒y=logcot2θ
Hence with the help of the formulas as mentioned in the solution hint we have obtain the value of trigonometric expression sech−1(sinθ)=logcot2θ.
Note:
To make the trigonometric expression in easy form it is necessary have to convert the trigonometric terms sech−1(sinθ)in the form of cosh−1(cosecθ)
It is necessary to let the given trigonometric expression be some variables as x, y, or z.
