Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(y = (\sin^{-1} x)^2 + (\cos^{-1} x)^2\). Using the identity \(\cos^{-1} x = \dfrac{\pi}{2} - \sin^{-1} x\), we have \(y = (\sin^{-1} x)^2 + (\dfrac{\pi}{2} - \sin^{-1} x)^2\). Let \(u = \sin^{-1} x\). Then…
