Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Simplify the following inverse trigonometry function: \$cos^-1(x) + cos^-1(y) + cos^-1(z) = (pi)\$.

2

Step

The given function is

\$cos^-1(x) + cos^-1(y) + cos^-1(z) = (pi)\$

3

Formula:

The given function is written as and simplify it

\$cos^-1(x) + cos^-1(y) = (pi) - cos^-1(z)\$

\$cos^-1(x) + cos^-1(y) = cos^-1(- z)\$

Since, \$cos^-1(- θ) = (pi) - cos^-1 (θ)\$

4

Clue

The sum of inverse cosines formula is

\$cos^-1(x) + cos^-1(y) = cos^-1 (xy - \sqrt(1 - x^2) . \sqrt(1 - y^2))\$

5

Hint

Substitute the formula into the simplified function and then simplify it

\$cos^-1 (xy - \sqrt(1 - x^2) . \sqrt(1 - y^2)) = cos^-1(- z)\$

\$cos^-1(x) + cos^-1(y) = cos^-1(- z)\$

Since, \$cos^-1(- θ) = (pi) - cos^-(θ)\$

6

Clue

The sum of inverse cosines formula is

\$cos^-1(x) + cos^-1(y) = cos^-1 (xy - \sqrt(1 - x^2) . \sqrt(1 - y^2))\$

7

Hint

Substitute the formula into the simplified function and then simplify it

\$cos^-1 (xy - \sqrt(1 - x^2) . \sqrt(1 - y^2)) = cos^-1(- z)\$

\$xy - \sqrt(1 - x^2) . \sqrt(1 - y^2) = - z\$

\$xy + z = \sqrt(1 - x^2) . \sqrt(1 - y^2)\$

8

Step

Now squaring on both sides then simplify

\$(xy + z)^2 = (\sqrt(1 - x^2))^2 .( \sqrt(1 - y^2))^2\$

\$x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 2xyz = 1\$

9

Step

Therefore, the inverse trigonometry function: \$cos^-1(x) + cos^-1(y) + cos^-1(z) = (pi)\$ is \$x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 2xyz = 1\$.

10

Choice.A

Wrong: Because it incorrectly suggests a different relationship that does not satisfy the equation derived from the inverse trigonometric function identities

\$x^2 + y^2 - z^2 + 2xyz = 1\$

11

Choice.B

Option B is not correct because it does not match the derived and validated identity for the sum of the inverse cosines equating to π

\$x^2 - y^2 + z^2 - 2xyz = 1\$

12

Choice.C

It does not satisfy the equation formed by the inverse cosine identities, and it does not correctly simplify to match the original equation involving the sum of inverse cosines

\$x^2 - y^2 + z^2 - 2xyz = - 1\$

13

Choice.D

It satisfies the equation derived from the inverse cosine identities and correctly simplifies to match the original equation involving the sum of inverse cosines

\$x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 2xyz = 1\$

14

Answer

Option

D
