Let a≤tan-1x+cot-1x+sin-1x≤b. If α and β denote the minimum and maximum possible values of a and b respectively, then:
(1)
Ans. α=0, β=π
Explanation:
We know that
tan-1x+cot-1x=π2
tan-1x+cot-1x+sin-1x=π2+sin-1x
-π2≤sin-1x≤π2
⇒-π2+π2≤sin-1x+π2≤π2+π2
⇒0≤π2+sin-1x≤π
⇒0≤tan-1x+cot-1x+sin-1x≤π
∴ α=0, β=π
