Inverse Trigonometric Functions — JEE Maths practice question

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

Question
Let f(α)=sin1(sinα)+cos1(cosα)f(\alpha)=\sin^{-1}(\sin\alpha)+\cos^{-1}(\cos\alpha) and g(β)=sin1(sinβ)+tan1(tanβ)g(\beta)=\sin^{-1}(\sin\beta)+\tan^{-1}(\tan\beta). Find the value of f(100)+g(8)f(100)+g(8).
Solution
Answer: 0
Step 1: Compute f(100)f(100). Note 32π100.5332\pi\approx 100.53, so 100=32πc100=32\pi-c where c0.53(0,π2)c\approx 0.53\in\left(0,\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right). sin100=sin(32πc)=sinc\sin 100=\sin(32\pi-c)=-\sin c, so sin1(sin100)=sin1(sinc)=c=10032π\sin^{-1}(\sin 100)=\sin^{-1}(-\sin c)=-c=100-32\pi. cos100=cos(32πc)=cosc\cos 100=\cos(32\pi-c)=\cos c, so cos1(cos100)=c=32π100\cos^{-1}(\cos 100)=c=32\pi-100. Step 2: Sum:
f(100)=(10032π)+(32π100)=0f(100)=(100-32\pi)+(32\pi-100)=0
Then sin1(sin8)=d=3π8\sin^{-1}(\sin 8)=d=3\pi-8 (since this lies in [π2,π2]\left[-\dfrac{\pi}{2},\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right]). For tan8\tan 8: tan(3πd)=tand=tan(83π)\tan(3\pi-d)=-\tan d=\tan(8-3\pi) since tan\tan has period π\pi. Actually tan(8)=tan(83π)\tan(8)=\tan(8-3\pi) where 83π1.42(π2,π2)8-3\pi\approx -1.42\in\left(-\dfrac{\pi}{2},\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right). So tan1(tan8)=83π\tan^{-1}(\tan 8)=8-3\pi. Step 3: Sum:
g(8)=(3π8)+(83π)=0g(8)=(3\pi-8)+(8-3\pi)=0
Step 4: Therefore:
f(100)+g(8)=0+0=0f(100)+g(8)=0+0=0
