Consider f(x)=∣x−1∣+∣2x−π∣+∣x−3∣f(x) = |x - 1| + |2x - \pi| + |x - 3| and
g(x)=sin⁡−1x+tan⁡−1g(x) = \sin^{- 1}x + \tan^{- 1} x. The value of x for which f (g(x))
is minimum is
ksin⁡πλ\sqrt{k\sin\frac{\pi}{\lambda}} where k, λ∈N\lambda \in N
then find k+
λ\lambda.

Show answer and solution
f (x) is minimum at x=π2\ x = \frac{\pi}{2}
⇒sin⁡−1x+tan⁡−1x=π2\Rightarrow \sin^{- 1}x + \tan^{- 1}x = \frac{\pi}{2}
tan⁡−1x=cos⁡−1x\tan^{- 1}x = \cos^{- 1}x
tan⁡−1x=tan⁡−1(1−x2x)\tan^{- 1}x = \tan^{- 1}\left( \frac{\sqrt{1 - x^{2}}}{x} \right)
=x2=1−x2x2= x^{2} = \frac{1 - x^{2}}{x^{2}}
x4+x2−1=0x^{4} + x^{2} - 1 = 0
x2=−1+52x^{2} = \frac{- 1 + \sqrt{5}}{2}
x=2sin180=2sinπ10x = \sqrt{2sin18^{0}} = \sqrt{2sin\frac{\pi}{10}}
⇒12=k+λ\Rightarrow 12 = k + \lambda
