Question

Let f(x) = loge(sin x), (0 < x < ) and g(x) = sin–1 (e–x ), (x 0). If is a positive real number such that a = (fog)'() and b = (fog)(), then :

Correct answer
Da2 - b - a = 1

Step-by-step explanation

f(x) = ln(sin x), g(x) = sin–1 (e–x)

f(g(x)) = ln(sin(sin–1 e–x)) = -x

f(g()) = – = b

As f(g(x)) = – x

(f(g(x)))' = – 1

(f(g()))' = – 1 = a

b = – , a = – 1

a2 - b - a = - 2 + 2 + 1 = 1
