2 tan^(-1) (-2) is equal to...

`2 tan^(-1) (-2)` is equal to

A

`-cos^(-1) ((-3)/(5))`

B

`-pi + cos^(-1).(3)/(5)`

C

`-(pi)/(2) + tan^(-1) (-(3)/(4))`

D

`-pi + cot^(-1) (-(3)/(4))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C

Let `tan^(-1) (-2) = theta " or " tan theta = -2`
`rArr theta in (-pi//2, 0) " or " 2 theta in (-pi, 0)`
`cos (-2 theta) = cos 2 theta = (1 - tan^(2) theta)/(1 + tan^(2) theta) = (-3)/(5)`
or `-2 theta = cos^(-1) ((-3)/(5)) = pi - cos^(-1).(3)/(5)`
or `2 theta = pi + cos^(-1).(3)/(5) = - pi + tan^(-1).(4)/(3)`
`= - pi + cot^(-1).(3)/(4) = - pi + (pi)/(2) - tan^(-1). (3)/(4)`
`= - (pi)/(2) - tan^(-1).(3)/(4) = - (pi)/(2) + tan^(-1) (-(3)/(4))`
