Q.

If S={x∈ℝ: sin-1(x+1x2+2x+2)-sin-1(xx2+1)=π4}, then ∑x∈S(sin((x2+x+5)π2)-cos((x2+x+5)π)) is equal to _____ .         [2023]


Ans.

(4)

Given, sin-1(x+1x2+2x+2)-sin-1(xx2+1)=π4

⇒ sin-1(x+1(x+1)2+1)-sin-1(xx2+1)=π4

⇒ tan-1(x+1)-tan-1(x)=π4⇒tan-1[(x+1)-x1+(x+1)x]=π4

⇒ 1x2+x+1=tan(π4)=1⇒x2+x+1=1⇒x2+x=0

⇒x=0 or -1   ∴ S={-1, 0}

∴ ∑x∈S[sin((x2+x+5)π2)-cos((x2+x+5)π)]

=[sin(5π2)-cos(5π)]+{sin(5π2)-cos(5π)}=2+2=4
