Solve each equation for exact solutions.
cos⁻¹ x + tan⁻¹ x = π/2

검증된 단계별 안내

Recognize that the equation is given as \(\cos^{-1} x + \tan^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2}\). Our goal is to find all values of \(x\) that satisfy this equation exactly.

Recall the identity involving inverse trigonometric functions: if \(\cos^{-1} x + \sin^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2}\), then we can try to relate \(\tan^{-1} x\) to \(\sin^{-1} x\) or \(\cos^{-1} x\) to simplify the expression.

Use the substitution \(\theta = \cos^{-1} x\), which implies \(x = \cos \theta\) and \(\theta \in [0, \pi]\). Then rewrite the equation as \(\theta + \tan^{-1}(\cos \theta) = \frac{\pi}{2}\).

Isolate \(\tan^{-1}(\cos \theta)\) to get \(\tan^{-1}(\cos \theta) = \frac{\pi}{2} - \theta\). Then take the tangent of both sides to obtain \(\cos \theta = \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta\right)\).

Use the co-function identity \(\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta\right) = \cot \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}\). Substitute this back to get \(\cos \theta = \frac{\cos \theta}{\sin \theta}\). From here, solve for \(\theta\) and then find \(x = \cos \theta\).
