arcsin(x)+arcsin(sqrt(3)x)= pi/2

Solution

arcsin (x) + arcsin (3 x) = \frac{π}{2}

Solution

x = \frac{1}{2}

Solution steps

arcsin (x) + arcsin (3 x) = \frac{π}{2}

Rewrite using trig identities

arcsin (x) + arcsin (3 x)

Use the Sum to Product identity:

arcsin (s) + arcsin (t) = arcsin (s 1 - t^{2} + t 1 - s^{2})

= arcsin (x 1 - (3 x)^{2} + 3 x 1 - x^{2})

arcsin (x 1 - (3 x)^{2} + 3 x 1 - x^{2}) = \frac{π}{2}

Apply trig inverse properties

arcsin (x 1 - (3 x)^{2} + 3 x 1 - x^{2}) = \frac{π}{2}

arcsin (x) = a \Rightarrow x = sin (a)

x 1 - (3 x)^{2} + 3 x 1 - x^{2} = sin (\frac{π}{2})

sin (\frac{π}{2}) = 1

sin (\frac{π}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

sin (\frac{π}{2}) = 1

sin (\frac{π}{2})

sin (x)
