Express this in simplest form
?
\[\Large \tan^{-1}(\frac{cosx}{1-sinx})\]
given \[\frac{-\pi}{2}<x<\frac{3\pi}{2}\]
please let me post my attempt first
Whenever I see a “Customer is always right” sign, I sit there hoping a KKK member walks through the doors.
yes absolutely :)
In the end I get \[\LARGE \tan^{-1}(\tan(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{x}{2}))\] now to check if this is true \[\LARGE \frac{-\pi}{2}<x <\frac{3\pi}{2}\] \[\LARGE \frac{-\pi}{4}<\frac{x}{2}<\frac{3\pi}{4}\] \[\LARGE \frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{-\pi}{4}<\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{x}{2}<\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac {3\pi}{4}\] \[\LARGE0<\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{x}{2}<\pi\]
since its not in the domain..
\[\LARGE \frac{-\pi}{2}<\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{x}{2}-\frac{\pi}{2}<\frac{\pi}{2}\] so answer should be that thing? in between
i think u r right :)\[\frac{x}{2}-\frac{\pi}{4}\]
but the answer says x/2+pi/4..they took it out directly :O
o.O
i mean arctan(tan(pi/4+x/2))=pi/4+x/2 answer^^
i know, but the range of arctan is \((-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2})\) right?
yes!
so i thought the answer must be that thing up there in between :) ??
most probably!
