Let α=tan⁡−12π\text{Let } \alpha = \tan^{-1}\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\pi} To find: 32cos⁡−122+π2+14sin⁡−122 π2+π2+α\text{To find: } \dfrac{3}{2}\cos^{-1}\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{2+\pi^2}} + \dfrac{1}{4}\sin^{-1}\dfrac{2\sqrt{2}\,\pi}{2+\pi^2} + \alpha Plan: tan⁡α=2π⇒sin⁡α, cos⁡α⇒each term→α\text{Plan: } \tan\alpha = \tfrac{\sqrt2}{\pi} \Rightarrow \sin\alpha,\ \cos\alpha \Rightarrow \text{each term} \to \alpha tan⁡α=2π⇒sin⁡α=22+π2,cos⁡α=π2+π2\tan\alpha = \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{\pi} \Rightarrow \sin\alpha = \dfrac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt{2+\pi^2}},\quad \cos\alpha = \dfrac{\pi}{\sqrt{2+\pi^2}} 22+π2=sin⁡α⇒cos⁡−122+π2=cos⁡−1(sin⁡α)\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{2+\pi^2}} = \sin\alpha \Rightarrow \cos^{-1}\sqrt{\dfrac{2}{2+\pi^2}} = \cos^{-1}(\sin\alpha) =cos⁡−1 ⁣(cos⁡(π2−α))=π2−α= \cos^{-1}\!\left(\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\alpha\right)\right) = \dfrac{\pi}{2}-\alpha 0<α<π2⇒π2−α∈(0,π2)⊂[0,π]0<\alpha<\dfrac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow \dfrac{\pi}{2}-\alpha \in \left(0,\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right) \subset [0,\pi] ∴ cos⁡−1(sin⁡α)=π2−α ✓\therefore\ \cos^{-1}(\sin\alpha) = \dfrac{\pi}{2}-\alpha\ \checkmark 22 π2+π2=2⋅22+π2⋅π2+π2=2sin⁡αcos⁡α=sin⁡2α\dfrac{2\sqrt2\,\pi}{2+\pi^2} = 2\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt2}{\sqrt{2+\pi^2}}\cdot\dfrac{\pi}{\sqrt{2+\pi^2}} = 2\sin\alpha\cos\alpha = \sin 2\alpha ⇒sin⁡−122 π2+π2=sin⁡−1(sin⁡2α)\Rightarrow \sin^{-1}\dfrac{2\sqrt2\,\pi}{2+\pi^2} = \sin^{-1}(\sin 2\alpha) α≈0.42⇒2α≈0.84∈[−π2,π2]\alpha\approx 0.42 \Rightarrow 2\alpha \approx 0.84 \in \left[-\dfrac{\pi}{2},\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right] ∴ sin⁡−1(sin⁡2α)=2α ✓\therefore\ \sin^{-1}(\sin 2\alpha) = 2\alpha\ \checkmark E=32(π2−α)+14(2α)+αE = \dfrac{3}{2}\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-\alpha\right) + \dfrac{1}{4}(2\alpha) + \alpha =3π4−3α2+α2+α=3π4= \dfrac{3\pi}{4} - \dfrac{3\alpha}{2} + \dfrac{\alpha}{2} + \alpha = \dfrac{3\pi}{4} 3π4\boxed{\dfrac{3\pi}{4}}
