Let $x * y = {x^2} + {y^3}$ and $(x * 1) * 1 = x * (1 * 1)$.
Then a value of $2{\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{{x^4} + {x^2} - 2} \over {{x^4} + {x^2} + 2}}} \right)$ is :
🎥 Video solution / Text Solution of this question is given below:
Given \( x*y=x^2+y^3 \)
\(\therefore (x*1)*1=x*(1*1)\)
\((x^2+1)*1=x*(2)\)
\((x^2+1)^2+1=x^2+8\)
\(x^4+2x^2+1+1=x^2+8\)
\(x^4+x^2-6=0\)
\((x^2+3)(x^2-2)=0\)
\(x^2=2\)
Now,
\(2\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x^4+x^2-2}{x^4+x^2+2}\right)\)
\(=2\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4+2-2}{4+2+2}\right)\)
\(=2\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\)
\(=2\cdot\frac{\pi}{6}\)
\(=\frac{\pi}{3}\)
