Worked practice questions

Value of arctan(1):

  1. π/4
  2. 0
  3. π/2
  4. π
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. π/4

tan(π/4) = 1, so arctan(1) = π/4.

Simplify arctan(sin x / (1+cos x)) for x ∈ (-π, π):

  1. x²
  2. x/2 (use half-angle: sin x/(1+cos x) = tan(x/2))
  3. x
  4. arctan(x)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. x/2 (use half-angle: sin x/(1+cos x) = tan(x/2))

**Half-angle:** sin x = 2 sin(x/2) cos(x/2), 1 + cos x = 2 cos²(x/2). Ratio = sin(x/2)/cos(x/2) = tan(x/2). For x/2 ∈ (-π/2, π/2), arctan(tan(x/2)) = x/2.

arccos(x) + arccos(-x) =

  1. x
  2. π (since arccos(-x) = π - arccos(x))
  3. 0
  4. 2 arccos(x)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. π (since arccos(-x) = π - arccos(x))

arccos(-x) = π - arccos(x) (reflection identity). Sum = arccos(x) + π - arccos(x) = π.
