Question : 3
Total: 29
What is the principal value of c o s − 1 ( −
) ?
Solution:
Let c o s − 1 ( −
) = x
⇒ cos x = -
⇒ cos x = - cos(
)
⇒ cos x = cos( π −
)
⇒ cos x = cos(
)
⇒ x =
Therefore, the principal value ofc o s − 1 ( −
) is
⇒ cos x = -
⇒ cos x = - cos
⇒ cos x = cos
⇒ cos x = cos
⇒ x =
Therefore, the principal value of
