Q25 / 51 · JEE Advanced 2023 (Paper 1) · Mathematics

Let tan-1x∈-π2, π2, for x∈ℝ. Then the number of real solutions of the equation 1+cos2x=2tan-1tanx in the set -3π2, -π2∪-π2, π2∪π2, 3π2 is equal to

Correct answer: 3

Solution

Given,

1+cos2x=2tan-1tanx

⇒2cos2x=2tan-1tanx

⇒cosx=tan-1tanx

Now plotting the diagram of cosx & tan-1tanx we get,

Figure

Now from above diagram we can say that,

Number of solutions = Number of intersection points =3

Hence, the correct answer is 3.
