sin^-1⁡x in terms of cos^-1⁡is ____________(a) cos^-1⁡\(\sqrt{1+x^2}\)(b) cos^-1⁡\(\sqrt{1-x^2}\)(c) cos^-1⁡x(d) cos^-1\(\frac{⁡1}{x}\)The question was asked in a national level competition.The question is from Properties of Inverse Trigonometric Functions in section Inverse Trigonometric Functions of Mathematics – Class 12

Answer» RIGHT CHOICE is (B) cos^-1⁡\(\sqrt{1-x^2}\)

The explanation is: Let sin^-1⁡x=y

⇒x=sin⁡y

⇒\(x=\sqrt{1-cos^2⁡y}\)

⇒\(x^2=1-cos^2⁡y\)

⇒\(cos^2⁡y=1-x^2\)

∴y=cos^-1⁡\(\sqrt{1-x^2}\)=sin^-1⁡x.
