If `y=cos^(-1)(cos10)` then y is equal to

Answer» We know , `cos^-1 in [0,pi).`
So, we have to find a value from `0` to `pi`.
Now, `cos(2npi-theta) = cos theta`
For `n = 1, theta = 10`,
`(2npi-theta) = (2pi -10) = (2**3.14 - 10) lt 0`
For `n = 2, theta = 10`,
`(2npi-theta) = (4pi -10) = (4**3.14 - 10) lt pi`
So, it is in the range `[0,pi)`.
`:. y = cos^-1(cos10) = cos^-1(cos(4pi-10)) = 4pi-10`
`=> y = 4pi-10`
