Question

If a<132, then the number of solutions of sin1x3+cos1x3=aπ3, is 

Moderate
Solution

We find that

sin1x3+cos1x3=sin1x+cos1x33sin1xcos1xsin1x+cos1x

=π383sin1xcos1xπ2=π383π2π2sin1xsin1x=π383π24sin1x+3π2sin1x2

=π38+3π2sin1x2π2sin1x=π38+3π2sin1xπ423π332=π332+3π2sin1xπ42

 sin1x3+cos1x3π332 aπ3π332a132

But, it is given that a<132.

Hence, for a<132, the equation has no solution.
