\(sin^{-1}\bigg(sin\frac{2π}{3}\bigg)+cos^{-1}\bigg(cos\frac{7π}{6}\bigg)+tan^{-1}\bigg(tan\frac{3π}{4}\bigg)\) is equal to:
- \(\frac{11π}{12}\)
- \(\frac{17π}{12}\)
- \(\frac{31π}{12}\)
- \(-\frac{3π}{4}\)
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
\(sin^{-1}\bigg(\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\bigg)+cos^{-1}\bigg(\frac{-\sqrt3}{2}\bigg)+tan^{-1}(-1)\)
= \(\frac{π}{3}+\frac{5π}{6}-\frac{π}{4}\)
= \(\frac{4π+10π-3π}{12}\)
=\(\frac{11π}{12}\)
Hence, the correct option is (A): \(\frac{11π}{12}\)
