Question
If $sin\left( \tan^{- 1}(x\sqrt{2}) \right) = cot\left( \sin^{- 1}\sqrt{1 - x^{2}} \right),x \in (0,1)$, then the value of x is :
Options
A.$\frac{1}{2}$
B.$\frac{1}{3}$
C.$\frac{2}{3}$
D.$\frac{5}{8}$
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Convert both inverse-trig sides to algebraic ratios: $\frac{x\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2x^{2} + 1}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^{2}}}$, square and solve for $x$.]
$${\frac{x\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2x^{2} + 1}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^{2}}} }{2\left( 1 - x^{2} \right) = \left( 2x^{2} + 1 \right) }{2 - 2x^{2} = 2x^{2} + 1 }{x^{2} = \frac{1}{4} }{x = \frac{1}{2} }$$
