Solution

The greatest and least values of (sin–1x)2 + (cos–1x)2 are respectively `(5pi^2)/4` and `pi^2/8`.

Explanation:

We have (sin–1x)2 + (cos–1x)2

= (sin–1x + cos–1x)2 – 2 sin–1x cos–1x

=  `pi^2/4 - 2sin^1x (pi/2 - sin^-1x)`

= `pi^2/4 - pi sin^-1x + 2(sin^-1x)^2`

= `2[(sin^-1x)^2 - pi/2 sin^-1x + pi^2/8]`

= `2[(sin^-1x - pi/4)^2 + pi^2/16]`

Thus, the least value is `2(pi^2/16)`

i.e. `pi^2/8` and the Greatest value is `2[((-pi)/2 - pi/4)^2 + pi^2/16]`

i.e. `(5pi^2)/4`.
