    If\[\cos (2{{\sin }^{-1}}x)=\frac{1}{9},\] then \[x\] is equal to:

    A)  only\[2/3\]                       

    B)  only\[-2/3\]                      

    C)  \[-2/3\]or \[2/3\]           

    D)  neither 2/3 nor \[-2/3\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We have \[\cos (2{{\sin }^{-1}}x)=\frac{1}{9}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos ({{\sin }^{-1}}2x\sqrt{1-{{x}^{2}}})=\frac{1}{9}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\cos \,{{\cos }^{-1}}\sqrt{1-4{{x}^{2}}(1-{{x}^{2}})}=\frac{1}{9}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\sqrt{{{(1-2{{x}^{2}})}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{9}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[1-2{{x}^{2}}=\frac{1}{9}\Rightarrow 2{{x}^{2}}=1-\frac{1}{9}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{2}}=\frac{4}{9}\Rightarrow x=\pm \frac{2}{3}\]
