For the principal values, evaluate each of the following:\(sin^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt3}2)+cos^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt3}2)\) |
|
Answer» \(sin^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt3}2)+cos^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt3}2)\) \(=-\frac{\pi}3+\frac{\pi}6\) {Since sin-1x = An angle in\([-\frac{\pi}2,\frac{\pi}2]\) whose sine is x, Similarly, cos-1 = An angle in [0, π ] whose cosine is x} \(=-\frac{\pi}6\) Hence, \(sin^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt3}2)+cos^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt3}2)\) = \(-\frac{\pi}6\) \(\therefore\) Principal value of \(sin^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt3}2)+cos^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt3}2)\) is \(-\frac{\pi}6\) |
