JEE Maths question with a full step-by-step solution.

Question
The value of the definite integral 1/21/2(sin1(3x4x3)cos1(4x33x))dx\displaystyle\int_{-1/2}^{1/2}\Big(\sin^{-1}(3x-4x^{3})-\cos^{-1}(4x^{3}-3x)\Big)dx is
A00
Bπ2-\dfrac{\pi}{2}correct
C7π2\dfrac{7\pi}{2}
Dπ2\dfrac{\pi}{2}
Solution
Step 1: Identify the triple-angle forms on the interval. For x(12,12)x\in\left(-\dfrac12,\dfrac12\right), write x=sinθx=\sin\theta with θ(π6,π6)\theta\in\left(-\dfrac{\pi}{6},\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right); then 3x4x3=sin3θ3x-4x^{3}=\sin 3\theta with 3θ(π2,π2)3\theta\in\left(-\dfrac{\pi}{2},\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right), so
sin1(3x4x3)=3θ=3sin1x.\sin^{-1}(3x-4x^{3})=3\theta=3\sin^{-1}x.
Step 2: For the second term, 4x33x=(3x4x3)=sin3θ=sin(3θ)4x^{3}-3x=-(3x-4x^{3})=-\sin 3\theta=\sin(-3\theta), so it equals cos ⁣(π2+3θ)\cos\!\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}+3\theta\right). Since π2+3θ(0,π)\dfrac{\pi}{2}+3\theta\in\left(0,\pi\right) lies in the principal range of cos1\cos^{-1},
cos1(4x33x)=π2+3θ=π2+3sin1x.\cos^{-1}(4x^{3}-3x)=\dfrac{\pi}{2}+3\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{2}+3\sin^{-1}x.
Step 3: Subtract the two:
sin1(3x4x3)cos1(4x33x)=3sin1x(π2+3sin1x)=π2.\sin^{-1}(3x-4x^{3})-\cos^{-1}(4x^{3}-3x)=3\sin^{-1}x-\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}+3\sin^{-1}x\right)=-\dfrac{\pi}{2}.
The integrand is the constant π2-\dfrac{\pi}{2}. Step 4: Integrate the constant over an interval of length 11:
1/21/2(π2)dx=π21=π2.\int_{-1/2}^{1/2}\left(-\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)dx=-\dfrac{\pi}{2}\cdot 1=-\dfrac{\pi}{2}.
Correct answer: (2)
