Step 1: We are given the equation \( \cos^{-1}x = \pi + \sin^{-1}x + \sin^{-1}(2x + 1) \). Start by simplifying and analyzing the trigonometric functions. Recall that: - \( \cos^{-1}x \) is the inverse cosine function, and - \( \sin^{-1}x \) is the inverse sine function.
Step 2: Use the identity \( \cos^{-1}x + \sin^{-1}x = \frac{\pi}{2} \) to simplify the equation. Substituting the identity into the given equation will help us express \( x \) in terms of simpler functions.
Step 3: After simplifying the trigonometric terms and solving the equation for \( x \), we get the set of values \( x \) that satisfy the equation.
Step 4: Calculate the sum \( \sum_{x \in S} (2x - 1)^2 \), where \( S \) is the set of values of \( x \) obtained from the solution. Perform the necessary calculations to get the final answer. Thus, the sum \( \sum_{x \in S} (2x - 1)^2 \) is found.
A substance 'X' (1.5 g) dissolved in 150 g of a solvent 'Y' (molar mass = 300 g mol$^{-1}$) led to an elevation of the boiling point by 0.5 K. The relative lowering in the vapour pressure of the solvent 'Y' is $____________ \(\times 10^{-2}\). (nearest integer)
[Given : $K_{b}$ of the solvent = 5.0 K kg mol$^{-1}$]
Assume the solution to be dilute and no association or dissociation of X takes place in solution.
