The correct Answer is:
To find the number of solutions for the equation \[ \sin^{-1}(|\log_6^2(\cos x) - 1|) + \cos^{-1}(|3\log_6^2(\cos x) - 7|) = \frac{\pi}{2} \] for \( x \in [0, 4\pi] \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Equation Recall that \( \sin^{-1}(a) + \cos^{-1}(a) = \frac{\pi}{2} \) for any \( a \) in the range \([-1, 1]\). This implies that: \[ |\log_6^2(\cos x) - 1| = |3\log_6^2(\cos x) - 7| \] ### Step 2: Setting Up the Equation We can set \( t = \log_6^2(\cos x) \). The equation simplifies to: \[ |t - 1| = |3t - 7| \] ### Step 3: Solving the Absolute Value Equation We need to consider two cases based on the properties of absolute values. **Case 1:** \( t - 1 = 3t - 7 \) \[ t - 1 = 3t - 7 \implies 2t = 6 \implies t = 3 \] **Case 2:** \( t - 1 = -(3t - 7) \) \[ t - 1 = -3t + 7 \implies 4t = 8 \implies t = 2 \] **Case 3:** \( -(t - 1) = 3t - 7 \) \[ - t + 1 = 3t - 7 \implies 4t = 8 \implies t = 2 \] **Case 4:** \( -(t - 1) = -(3t - 7) \) \[ - t + 1 = -3t + 7 \implies 2t = 6 \implies t = 3 \] ### Step 4: Summary of Solutions From the above cases, we have two unique solutions for \( t \): 1. \( t = 2 \) 2. \( t = 3 \) ### Step 5: Relating \( t \) Back to \( x \) Recall that \( t = \log_6^2(\cos x) \). Thus, we have: 1. For \( t = 2 \): \[ \log_6^2(\cos x) = 2 \implies \cos x = 6^{\pm \sqrt{2}} \text{ (which is outside the range of cosine)} \] 2. For \( t = 3 \): \[ \log_6^2(\cos x) = 3 \implies \cos x = 6^{\pm \sqrt{3}} \text{ (which is also outside the range of cosine)} \] ### Step 6: Conclusion Since both values of \( t \) lead to values of \( \cos x \) that are not in the range \([-1, 1]\), there are no valid solutions for \( x \) in the interval \([0, 4\pi]\). Thus, the number of solutions is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
