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.

Considering the principal values of the inverse trigonometric functions, ⁻¹( √(3)2 x + (1)/(2)√(1 - x²))$\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} x + \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{1 - x^2}\right)$, where -(1)/(2) < x < 1√(2)$-\frac{1}{2} < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$, is equal to
A.(π)/(4) + ⁻¹x$\frac{\pi}{4} + \sin^{-1}x$
B.(π)/(6) + ⁻¹x$\frac{\pi}{6} + \sin^{-1}x$
C.(-5π)/(6) - ⁻¹ x$\frac{-5\pi}{6} - \sin^{-1} x$

Trigonometric Sine Identity:
(A + B) = A B + A B$$\sin(A + B) = \sin A \cos B + \cos A \sin B$$
Core Logic
Let ⁻¹x = θ x = θ$\sin^{-1}x = \theta \implies x = \sin\theta$ and √(1-x²) = θ$\sqrt{1-x^2} = \cos\theta$.
Given constraint -(1)/(2) < x < 1√(2) -(π)/(6) < θ < (π)/(4)$-\frac{1}{2} < x < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \implies -\frac{\pi}{6} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$.
Substitute parameter representations into expression:
This lies completely within the principal value branch of ⁻¹x$\sin^{-1}x$, which is [-(π)/(2), (π)/(2)]$\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$.
Therefore, ⁻¹( (θ + (π)/(6))) = θ + (π)/(6)$\sin^{-1}\left(\sin\left(\theta + \frac{\pi}{6}\right)\right) = \theta + \frac{\pi}{6}$.
Step 2: Final Form
Substituting back θ = ⁻¹x$\theta = \sin^{-1}x$:
(π)/(6) + ⁻¹x$$\frac{\pi}{6} + \sin^{-1}x$$

If α>β>γ>0$\alpha>\beta>\gamma>0$ then the expression ⁻¹β+ (1+β²)(α-β)+ ⁻¹γ+ (1+γ²)(β-γ)+ ⁻¹α+ (1+α²)(γ-α)$\cot^{-1}\left\{\beta+\frac{(1+\beta^{2})}{(\alpha-\beta)}\right\}+\cot^{-1}\left\{\gamma+\frac{(1+\gamma^{2})}{(\beta-\gamma)}\right\}+\cot^{-1}\left\{\alpha+\frac{(1+\alpha^{2})}{(\gamma-\alpha)}\right\}$ is equal to:
The sign trap is the most vital component of this question. The ordering α > β > γ > 0$\alpha > \beta > \gamma > 0$ means the last term contains a denominator with a negative difference (γ - α)$(\gamma - \alpha)$, introducing the +π$+\pi$ offset according to the principal range of ⁻¹(x)$\cot^{-1}(x)$.
