Options

A. `(-pi)/(2)`
B. 0
C. `(pi)/(2)`
D. `(2pi)/(3)`

Explanation

To solve the equation

\[ \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1 - x^2}{1 + x^2}\right) + \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1 + x^2}\right) = p \]

for all \( x \in [-1, 0] \), we will use the known identities of inverse trigonometric functions.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

**Step 1:** Recognize the identities.

We can use the following identities for inverse trigonometric functions:

\[ \cos^{-1}(t) = 2 \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1 - t}{1 + t}\right) \]

and

\[ \sin^{-1}(t) = 2 \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{t}{\sqrt{1 - t^2}}\right) \]

However, in our case, we will directly use the known relationships for the specific forms given in the problem.

**Step 2:** Simplify \(\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1 - x^2}{1 + x^2}\right)\).

Using the identity:

\[ \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1 - x^2}{1 + x^2}\right) = 2 \tan^{-1}(x) \]

**Step 3:** Simplify \(\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1 + x^2}\right)\).

Using the identity:

\[ \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1 + x^2}\right) = 2 \tan^{-1}(x) \]

**Step 4:** Combine the results.

Now, substituting these results back into the original equation, we get:

\[ 2 \tan^{-1}(x) + 2 \tan^{-1}(x) = 4 \tan^{-1}(x) \]

**Step 5:** Set the equation equal to \(p\).

Thus, we have:

\[ 4 \tan^{-1}(x) = p \]

**Step 6:** Evaluate \(p\) for \(x \in [-1, 0]\).

Now we need to evaluate \(4 \tan^{-1}(x)\) for \(x\) in the interval \([-1, 0]\):

- When \(x = -1\), \(\tan^{-1}(-1) = -\frac{\pi}{4}\), so:
\[ p = 4 \left(-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = -\pi \]

- When \(x = 0\), \(\tan^{-1}(0) = 0\), so:
\[ p = 4(0) = 0 \]

Since \(p\) must be constant for all \(x\) in the interval, we check the values. The function \(4 \tan^{-1}(x)\) varies from \(-\pi\) to \(0\) as \(x\) goes from \(-1\) to \(0\).

Thus, for all \(x \in [-1, 0]\), the value of \(p\) is:

\[ \boxed{0} \]
