∣y∣=sin x,y=cos−1(cos x),−2π≤x≤2π
∣y∣=sin x−−−−1y=cos−1(cos x),−2π≤x≤2π−−−−2→y=xwhen0≤x≤π→y=2π−xπ≤x≤2π→y=−2π−x−2π≤x≤−π→y=−x−π≤x≤0
from (1) and (2)
three different cases are ∣x∣=sinx, ∣2π−x∣=sinx and ∣2π+x∣=sinx
For the above simultaneous equations, we get exactly 3 solutions.
For x=0 we get y=0 for both the equations,
For x=k(2π) where k is an integer, we get y=0 in both the cases.
Since xϵ[−2π,2π] we get
x=−2π and x=2π.
Hence 3 solutions,
at x=0
x=−2π and
x=2π
Hence, no of real solutions is 3
