Short answer

The formula$arccosz=iln\left(z\pm \sqrt{z^2-1}\right)$is verified.

Step-by-step solution

Given Information

Given formula is$arccosz=iln\left(z\pm \sqrt{z^2-1}\right)$.

Definition of Trigonometric equation.

An equation involving one or more trigonometric ratios of unknown angles is known as a trigonometric equation.

 Use exponential form to expand the equation

Given the function $arccosz=iln\left(z\pm \sqrt{z^2-1}\right)$.

Write the exponential form of the$w=arc\cos (z).$ .

$$\begin{gathered} z=\cos \left(w\right) \\ =\frac{e^{\left(wi\right)}+e^{\left(-wi\right)}}{2} \end{gathered}$$ …(1)

Rewrite the equation (1).

role="math" localid="1658899854082" $$\begin{gathered} e^{\left(wi\right)}+e^{\left(-wi\right)}=2z \\ {e}^{\left(2wi\right)}+2z{e}^{\left(wi\right)}+1=0 \end{gathered}$$ …(2)

Let $u=e^{\left(wi\right)}$in equation (2).

$u^2-2zu+1=0$ …(3)

The coefficient of equation is as follows.

$$\begin{gathered} a=1 \\ b=-2z \\ c=1 \end{gathered}$$

Use quadratic formula to find roots of equation (3).

$$\begin{gathered} u=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ =\frac{2z\pm \sqrt{{\left(-2z\right)}^2-4}}{2} \\ =z\pm \sqrt{z^2-1} \end{gathered}$$

Replace value of u by$u=e^{\left(wi\right)}$ .

role="math" localid="1658899729245" $wi=\ln \left(z\pm \sqrt{z^2-1}\right)$

Replace value of w by$w=arccos\left(z\right)$ .

role="math" localid="1658899784360" $arccos\left(z\right)=i\ln \left(z\pm \sqrt{z^2-1}\right)$

Hence the formula is verified.
