The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \[ \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{x(x+1)}) + \sin^{-1}(\sqrt{x^2 + x + 1}) = \frac{\pi}{2}, \] we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Equation Let \( y = \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{x(x+1)}) \). Then, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ y + \sin^{-1}(\sqrt{x^2 + x + 1}) = \frac{\pi}{2}. \] ### Step 2: Use the Identity From the identity \( \sin^{-1}(a) + \cos^{-1}(a) = \frac{\pi}{2} \), we can express \( \sin^{-1}(\sqrt{x^2 + x + 1}) \) as: \[ \sin^{-1}(\sqrt{x^2 + x + 1}) = \frac{\pi}{2} - y. \] This implies: \[ y = \cos^{-1}(\sqrt{x^2 + x + 1}). \] ### Step 3: Set the Arguments Equal Since both expressions for \( y \) are equal, we can set the arguments equal: \[ \sqrt{x(x+1)} = \sqrt{x^2 + x + 1}. \] ### Step 4: Square Both Sides Squaring both sides gives us: \[ x(x+1) = x^2 + x + 1. \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Equation Rearranging the equation, we have: \[ x^2 + x = x^2 + x + 1 \implies 0 = 1. \] This is a contradiction, which indicates that we need to check the conditions under which the original equation holds. ### Step 6: Analyze the Function We need to analyze the function: \[ f(x) = \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{x(x+1)}) + \sin^{-1}(\sqrt{x^2 + x + 1}). \] ### Step 7: Determine the Range of \( f(x) \) 1. **Domain**: The expressions inside the inverse functions must be defined. - For \( \tan^{-1}(\sqrt{x(x+1)}) \), \( x(x+1) \geq 0 \) implies \( x \geq 0 \) or \( x \leq -1 \). - For \( \sin^{-1}(\sqrt{x^2 + x + 1}) \), since \( \sqrt{x^2 + x + 1} \) is always positive and less than or equal to 1, it is valid for all \( x \). 2. **Behavior**: As \( x \to \infty \), both \( \tan^{-1} \) and \( \sin^{-1} \) approach their limits, and we can analyze the behavior at critical points like \( x = 0 \) and \( x = -1 \). ### Step 8: Find the Roots From our analysis, we find that the only values that satisfy the equation are \( x = 0 \) and \( x = -1 \). ### Conclusion Thus, the number of real roots of the given equation is **2** (the roots are \( x = 0 \) and \( x = -1 \)).
