The equation is given below as

\sin x\cos x=-\frac{1}{4}

Recall that

\begin{gathered} \sin 2x=2\sin xcosx \\ \text{which means that } \\ \frac{\sin2x}{2}=\sin x\cos x \end{gathered}

Therefore, equating the two-equation, we will have

\frac{\sin 2x}{2}=-\frac{1}{4}

cross multiply, we will have

\begin{gathered} \sin 2x=-\frac{1}{4}\times2 \\ \sin 2x=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

Therefore,

we will get the arc sign of both sides in radians to get

\begin{gathered} 2x=\sin ^{-1}(-\frac{1}{2}) \\ x=\frac{1}{2}\sin ^{-1}(-\frac{1}{2}) \end{gathered}

In radians, the final answer will be

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{7\pi}{12}+n\pi \\ \text{and} \\ x=\frac{11\pi}{12}+n\pi \end{gathered}

Therefore,

The finals answers are OPTION A and OPTION D

If h(x) is the inverse of f(x), what is the value of h(f(x))?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Hello,

f(x) has as inverse f^(-1)(x)
and (fof^(-1))(x)=(f^(-1)of)(x)= x (the neutral function)
so h(f(x))=x
