Given that the inverse trigonometric functions take principal values only. Then, the number of real values of x which satisfy sin-13x5+sin-14x5=sin-1x is equal to:

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

sin-13x5+sin-14x5=sin-1x

sin-13x51-16x225+4x51-9x225=sin-1x

3x51-16x225+4x51-9x225=x

x=0, 325-16x2+425-9x2=25

425-9x2=25-325-16x2 

squaring we get

1625-9x2=625+925-16x2-15025-16x2

400=625+225-15025-16x2

25-16x2=325-16x2=9

x2=1

Put x=0,1,-1 in the original equation We see that all values satisfy the original equation.

Number of solution =3
