What is the value of cos^-1(-x) for all x belongs to [-1, 1]?(a) cos^-1(-x)(b) π – cos^-1(x)(c) π – cos^-1(-x)(d) π + cos^-1(x)I got this question in quiz.My question comes from Inverse Trigonometry in chapter Inverse Trigonometric Functions of Mathematics – Class 12 |

Answer» RIGHT CHOICE is (B) π – cos^-1(X) To explain: Let, θ = cos^-1(-x) So, 0 ≤ θ ≤ π => -x = cosθ => x = -cosθ => x = cos(-θ) Also, -π ≤ -θ ≤ 0 So, 0 ≤ π -θ ≤ π => -θ = cos^-1(x) => θ = -cos^-1(x) So, cos^-1(x) = π – θ θ = π – cos^-1(x) => cos^-1(-x) = π – cos^-1(x) |
