The principal value of sin-1(sin 3ℼ/4) is?
Solution and Explanation
Let's find the principal value of sin-1(sin(3π/4)).
1. Understand the Principal Value:
The principal value of sin-1(x) lies in the interval [-π/2, π/2].
2. Evaluate sin(3π/4):
* 3π/4 is in the second quadrant.
* sin(3π/4) = sin(π - π/4) = sin(π/4) = √2/2
3. Find sin-1(√2/2):
We need to find an angle θ in the interval [-π/2, π/2] such that sin(θ) = √2/2.
* We know that sin(π/4) = √2/2.
* π/4 is in the interval [-π/2, π/2].
Therefore, the principal value of sin-1(sin(3π/4)) is π/4.

Inverse Trigonometric Functions
The inverse trigonometric functions are also called arcus functions or anti trigonometric functions. These are the inverse functions of the trigonometric functions with suitably restricted domains. Specifically, they are the inverse functions of the sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions, and are used to obtain an angle from any of the angle’s trigonometric ratios. Inverse trigonometric functions are widely used in engineering, navigation, physics, and geometry.
Domain and Range Of Inverse Functions
Considering the domain and range of the inverse functions, following formulas are important to be noted:
- sin(sin−1x) = x, if -1 ≤ x ≤ 1
- cos(cos−1x) = x, if -1 ≤ x ≤ 1
- tan(tan−1x) = x, if -∞ ≤ x ≤∞
- cot(cot−1x) = x, if -∞≤ x ≤∞
- sec(sec−1x) = x, if -∞ ≤ x ≤ -1 or 1 ≤ x ≤ ∞
- cosec(cosec−1x) = x, if -∞ ≤ x ≤ -1 or 1 ≤ x ≤ ∞
Also, the following formulas are defined for inverse trigonometric functions.
- sin−1(sin y) = y, if -π/2 ≤ y ≤ π/2
- cos−1(cos y) =y, if 0 ≤ y ≤ π
- tan−1(tan y) = y, if -π/2 <y< π/2
- cot−1(cot y) = y if 0<y< π
- sec−1(sec y) = y, if 0 ≤ y ≤ π, y ≠ π/2
cosec−1(cosec y) = y if -π/2 ≤ y ≤ π/2, y ≠ 0
