If cos⁻¹ ((2)/(3x))+cos⁻¹ ((3)/(4x))=(π)/(2), where x>(3)/(4), then the value of x is:

  1. (√(145))/(12)
  2. (√(145))/(10)
  3. (√(146))/(12)
  4. (√(145))/(11)

Correct answer: (√(145))/(12)

Solution

From cos^-1(2/3x)+cos^-1(3/4x)=pi/2, we get cos^-1(2/3x)=sin^-1(3/4x), so 2/(3x)=sqrt(1-9/(16x^2)). Squaring: 4/(9x^2)+9/(16x^2)=1 -> 145/(144x^2)=1 -> x=sqrt(145)/12.
