7 24

Solution

The correct option is -7/24.

We need to evaluate the following expression using the principal values of inverse trigonometric functions:

tan ( sin - 1 ( 3 5 ) - 2 cos - 1 ( 2 5 ) )

Step 1: Define substitution variables for the inverse trigonometric terms.
Let A=sin-1(35) and B=cos-1(25).

From the principal value branches, both A and B lie in the first quadrant, i.e., A,B(0,π2).

Step 2: Find tan(A) and tan(B).

Since sin(A)=35, we have:

cos ( A ) = 1 - sin 2 ( A ) = 1 - 9 25 = 4 5

Thus, tan(A)=sin(A)cos(A)=3/54/5=34.

Similarly, for cos(B)=25:

sin ( B ) = 1 - cos 2 ( B ) = 1 - 4 5 = 1 5

Thus, tan(B)=sin(B)cos(B)=1/52/5=12.

Step 3: Calculate tan(2B) using the double-angle formula for tangent.

tan ( 2 B ) = 2 tan ( B ) 1 - tan 2 ( B )

Substituting tan(B)=12:

tan ( 2 B ) = 2 ( 1 2 ) 1 - ( 1 2 ) 2 = 1 1 - 1 4 = 1 3 / 4 = 4 3

Step 4: Compute tan(A-2B) using the tangent subtraction formula.

tan ( A - 2 B ) = tan ( A ) - tan ( 2 B ) 1 + tan ( A ) tan ( 2 B )

Substitute tan(A)=34 and tan(2B)=43:

tan ( A - 2 B ) = 3 4 - 4 3 1 + ( 3 4 ) ( 4 3 )

Simplifying the numerator and denominator separately:

Numerator: 3 4 - 4 3 = 9 - 16 12 = - 7 12

Denominator: 1 + 1 = 2

Therefore:

tan ( A - 2 B ) = - 7 / 12 2 = - 7 24

Thus, the final evaluated value is -7/24.
