Question:

<p>Number of solutions of \(\sin^{-1}(1-x)-2\sin^{-1}x=\pi/2\):</p>

Step-by-Step Solution

<div class="solution"><p>Test x=0: $\sin^{-1}(1)-0=\pi/2$ ✓. Check monotonicity -- LHS is strictly decreasing, so only 1 solution.</p><p><strong>Answer: 1 solution (x=0)</strong></p><div class="trap-box"><strong>Trap:</strong> Heavy algebra when endpoint check suffices.<div class="key-concept"><strong>Key Concept:</strong> For monotone ITF equations, check simple values first
