Logarithmic addition property: (a) + (b) = (ab)$\log(a) + \log(b) = \log(ab)$.
Double angle sine formula: 2 x x = 2x$2\sin x \cos x = \sin 2x$.
Since π² ≈ 9.87$\pi^2 \approx 9.87$, (8)/(π²) ≈ 0.81$\frac{8}{\pi^2} \approx 0.81$, which is less than 1. Plotting | 2x| = (8)/(π²)$|\sin 2x| = \frac{8}{\pi^2}$ over the specified range x in (0, π)$x \in (0, \pi)$ yields exactly 4 real intersection points.

Hence, n(A) = 4$n(A) = 4$.
Step 2: Simplify Set B
Let √(x) = t$\sqrt{x} = t$ where t ≥ 0$t \ge 0$. The equation becomes:
Hence, set B = 0, 1, 9, 16$B = \{0, 1, 9, 16\}$, giving n(B) = 4$n(B) = 4$.
Step 3: Calculate Union
Since all elements of set A are non-integral angles in (0, π)$(0, \pi)$ and elements of set B are pure integers, the sets are completely disjoint (A B =$A \cap B = \emptyset$).
Always separate functions into disjoint numeric domains (e.g., angles vs. whole integers) to conclude unions without performing tedious tracking of individual values manually.

Given x = (5)/(12)$\cot x = \frac{5}{12}$ and x in (π, 3π/2)$x \in (\pi, 3\pi/2)$ (3rd quadrant), x = (-5)/(13)$\cos x = \frac{-5}{13}$.
Find (x/2)$\cos(x/2)$ and (x/2)$\sin(x/2)$.
Since π < x < (3π)/(2) ⇒ (π)/(2) < (x)/(2) < (3π)/(4)$\pi < x < \frac{3\pi}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2} < \frac{x}{2} < \frac{3\pi}{4}$ (2nd quadrant, so > 0$\sin > 0$, < 0$\cos < 0$).
Expanding and rearranging mixed sine/cosine terms often collapses large coefficients (7x, 13x/2$7x, 13x/2$) into their simple difference (x/2$x/2$).

Core Logic
Rewrite the given equation by dividing x$\tan x$ to the LHS:
Substitute integers for n$n$ to find roots in the interval x in [0, 180°]$x \in [0, 180^{\circ}]$:
For n = 1$n = 1$: x = 45° + (1)(10°) - 25° = 30°$x = 45^{\circ} + (1)(10^{\circ}) - 25^{\circ} = 30^{\circ}$
For n = 2$n = 2$: x = 90° + (-1)(10°) - 25° = 55°$x = 90^{\circ} + (-1)(10^{\circ}) - 25^{\circ} = 55^{\circ}$
For n = 3$n = 3$: x = 135° + (1)(10°) - 25° = 120°$x = 135^{\circ} + (1)(10^{\circ}) - 25^{\circ} = 120^{\circ}$
For n = 4$n = 4$: x = 180° + (-1)(10°) - 25° = 145°$x = 180^{\circ} + (-1)(10^{\circ}) - 25^{\circ} = 145^{\circ}$
For n = 5$n = 5$: x = 225° + (1)(10°) - 25° = 210°$x = 225^{\circ} + (1)(10^{\circ}) - 25^{\circ} = 210^{\circ}$ (Out of bounds)
There are exactly 4$4$ solutions in [0, 180°]$[0, 180^{\circ}]$.
Pattern Recognition
Fractional equality of sine and cosine products heavily points to Componendo and Dividendo. Pushing x$\tan x$ to the left immediately creates the standard format ready to collapse back into (A ± B)$\sin(A \pm B)$ and (A ± B)$\cos(A \pm B)$.

Let A = x$\tan A = x$, B = y$\tan B = y$, C = z$\tan C = z$.

Since A in (0, (π)/(2))$A \in \left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$, x ≠ 0$x \neq 0$ and 1 + x² ≠ 0$1 + x^2 \neq 0$, we can divide by (1+x²)$(1+x^2)$:
z² = xy$z^2 = xy$
Substituting back our tangent terms:

If k = ((π)/(4) +(1)/(2) ⁻¹((2)/(3))) + ((1)/(2) ⁻¹((2)/(3)))$k = \tan \left(\frac{\pi}{4} +\frac{1}{2}\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\right) + \tan \left(\frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\right)$ then the number of solutions of the equation ⁻¹(kx - 1) = ⁻¹x - ⁻¹x$\sin^{-1}(kx - 1) = \sin^{-1}x - \cos^{-1}x$ is ____.
Numerical Answer.Answer: 1 to 1
Solution
Core Logic
First, evaluate k$k$.
Let θ = (1)/(2) ⁻¹((2)/(3))$\theta = \frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$. This implies (2θ) = (2)/(3)$\sin(2\theta) = \frac{2}{3}$.
Since ⁻¹ x + ⁻¹ x = (π)/(2)$\cos^{-1} x + \sin^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2}$, we have:
2x² - 3x = 0$2x^2 - 3x = 0$x(2x - 3) = 0$x(2x - 3) = 0$x = 0$x = 0$ or x = (3)/(2)$x = \frac{3}{2}$.
Since domain of ⁻¹$\sin^{-1}$ is [-1, 1]$[-1, 1]$, x = 3/2$x = 3/2$ is rejected.
Now check x=0$x=0$ in original equation:
LHS: ⁻¹(-1) = -π/2$\sin^{-1}(-1) = -\pi/2$
RHS: ⁻¹(0) - ⁻¹(0) = 0 - π/2 = -π/2$\sin^{-1}(0) - \cos^{-1}(0) = 0 - \pi/2 = -\pi/2$
Both sides match, so x=0$x=0$ is a valid solution. Wait, the official solution says x=0$x=0$ is rejected and number of solutions is 1? No, the snippet says "x=0, 3/2 (rejected)" which implies 3/2 is rejected. Then it says "No. of solution = 1". So x=0$x=0$ is indeed the 1 solution.

(A - B) = ( A - B)/(1 + A B)$$\tan(A - B) = \frac{\tan A - \tan B}{1 + \tan A \tan B}$$2θ = (2 θ)/(1 - ²θ)$$\tan 2\theta = \frac{2\tan\theta}{1 - \tan^2\theta}$$
Core Logic
Let ⁻¹ 2√(13) = θ$\sin^{-1}\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}} = \theta$ and ⁻¹ 3√(10) = φ$\cos^{-1}\frac{3}{\sqrt{10}} = \phi$.
Then θ = 2√(13)$\sin\theta = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}$⇒$\Rightarrow$θ = (2)/(3)$\tan\theta = \frac{2}{3}$.
And φ = 3√(10)$\cos\phi = \frac{3}{\sqrt{10}}$⇒$\Rightarrow$φ = (1)/(3)$\tan\phi = \frac{1}{3}$.
For compound inverse trigonometric expressions involving coefficients, map them entirely to their $\tan$ equivalents early to avoid cumbersome algebraic radicals.
