Question 3.
(i) If cos-1 p + cos-1 q + cos-1 r = π, then prove that p2 + q2 + r2 + 2pqr = 1
Solution:
Let cos-1 p = A, cos-1 q = B and cos-1 r = C
then A + B + C = π ………(1)
and p = cos A, q = cos B and r cos C
Now p2 + q2 + r2 = cos2 A + cos2 B + cos2 C
= cos2 A + (1 – sin2 B + cos2 C)
= 1 + (cos2 A – sin2 B) + cos2 C
= 1 + cos (A + B) . cos (A – B) + cos2 C
= 1 + cos (π – C) cos (A – B) + cos2 C (By (1))
= 1 – cos C cos (A – B) + cos2 C
= 1 – cos C [cos (A – B) – cos C]
= 1 – cos C [cos (A – B) – cos(180° – \(\overline{A+B}\)]
= 1 – cos C [cos (A – B) + cos (A + B)]
= 1 – cos C [2 cos A cos B]
= 1 – 2 pqr
∴ p2 + q2 + r2 + 2pqr = 1

(iii) If a, b, c are distinct non-zero real numbers having the same sign, prove that \(\cot ^{-1}\left(\frac{a b+1}{a-b}\right)+\cot ^{-1}\left(\frac{b c+1}{b-c}\right)\) + \(\cot ^{-1}\left(\frac{c a+1}{c-a}\right)\) = π or 2π
Solution:
Since (a – b) + (b – c) + (c – a) = 0.
(a – b), (b – c), (c – a) all cannot have the same sign.
Now two cases arise, namely, either two of these numbers are positive and one negative (or) two of these numbers are negative and one is positive.
Case (i): Without loss of generality, we assume that (a – b), (b – c) are both positive and (c – a) is negative

(iv) If sin-1 (x) + sin-1 (y) + sin-1 (z) = π, then prove that \(x \sqrt{1-x^{2}}+y \sqrt{1-y^{2}}+z \sqrt{1-z^{2}}=2 x y z\)
Solution:
Let sin-1 (x) = A, sin-1 (y) = B and sin-1 (z) = C
Then A + B + C = π …………(1)
and x = sin A, y = sin B and z = sin C
Now LHS = \(x \sqrt{1-x^{2}}+y \sqrt{1-y^{2}}+z \sqrt{1-z^{2}}\)
= sin A \(\sqrt{1-\sin ^{2} A}\) + sin B \(\sqrt{1-\sin ^{2} B}\) + sin C \(\sqrt{1-\sin ^{2} C}\)
= sin A cos A + sin B cos B + sin C cos C
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [sin 2A + sin 2B + sin 2C]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [2 . sin (A + B) cos (A – B) + sin 2C]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [2 sin (π – c). cos (A – B) + sin 2C]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) [2 sin C cos (A – B) + 2 sin C cos C]
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (2 sin C) [cos (A – B) + cos C]
= sin C [cos (A – B) + cos (180° – \(\overline{A+B}\)]
= sin C [cos (A – B) – cos (A + B)]
= sin C [2 sin A sin B]
= 2 xyz
∴ \(x \sqrt{1-x^{2}}+y \sqrt{1-y^{2}}+z \sqrt{1-z^{2}}=2 x y z\)

(v) (a) If tan-1 x + tan-1 y + tan-1 z = π, then prove that x + y + z = xyz.
Solution:
Let A = tan-1 x, B = tan-1 y, C = tan-1 z
tan A = x, tan B = y, tan C = z
Given A + B + C = π ……….(1)
A + B = π – C
tan (A + B) = tan (π – C)
\(\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A \tan B}\) = -tan C
\(\frac{x+y}{1-x y}\) = -z
x + y = -z + xyz
∴ x + y + z = xyz

(b) If tan-1 x + tan-1 y + tan-1 z = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\), then prove that xy + yz + zx = 1.
Solution:
Let tan-1 x = A, tan-1 y = B and tan-1 z = C
Then A + B + C = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) …….(1)
and x = tan A, y = tan B and z = tan C
∵ A + B + C = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
A + B = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) – C
⇒ tan (A + B) = tan(\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) – C)
⇒ \(\frac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A \cdot \tan B}\) = cot C
⇒ \(\frac{x+y}{1-x y}=\frac{1}{z}\)
⇒ zx + yz = 1 – xy (or) xy + yz + zx = 1

(iv) sin-1(1 – x) – 2 sin-1 x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
Solution:
Given sin-1(1 – x) – 2 sin-1x = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
Let sin-1(1 – x) = α and sin-1(x) = β
Then sin α = 1 – x and sin β = x
cos α = \(\sqrt{1-(1-x)^{2}}\) and cos β = \(\sqrt{1-x^{2}}\)
Now sin-1(1 – x) – 2 sin-1(x) = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
⇒ α – 2β = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
⇒ α = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) + 2β
⇒ sin α = sin (\(\frac{\pi}{2}\) + 2β)
⇒ sin α = cos 2β
⇒ 1 – x = 1 – 2 sin2β
⇒ 1 – x = 1 – 2x2
⇒ 2x2 – x = 0
⇒ x(2x – 1) = 0
⇒ x = 0 (or) x = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
But when x = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
