Inverse trigonometric functions Ex 3.5

Inverse Trigonometric Functions exercise 3.5 question 1(i)

Answer: $\frac{-\pi}{4}$
Hints: The $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ function is defined as a function whose domain is R-(-1,1) and the principal value branch of the function $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is - $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
Given: $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$
Explanation: Let $y=\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$
$\therefore y=-\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(\sqrt{2})$ $\left[\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-x)=-\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(x)\right]$
$\operatorname{cosec} y=-(\sqrt{2})$
$\operatorname{cosec} y =- \operatorname{cosec}\frac{\pi}{4}$ $\left[\because \operatorname{cosec} \frac{\pi}{4}=\sqrt{2}\right]$
$y = \frac{-\pi }{4}$
since Range of $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
Therefore, principal value of $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$ is - $\frac{-\pi}{4}$

Inverse Trigonometric Functions exercise 3.5 question 1(ii)

Answer:

$\frac{-\pi}{6}$
Hints: Domain of $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ s R- (-1,1) and the range of $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
Given: $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$
Explanation: Let $y=\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$
$\operatorname{cosec} y=-2$
$\operatorname{cosec} y =- \operatorname{cosec}\frac{\pi}{6}$ $\left [\operatorname{cosec}\frac{-\pi}{6}=2 \right ]$
$\therefore y =\frac{-\pi}{6}$
Since, range of $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
Therefore, principal value is $\frac{-\pi}{6}$

Inverse Trigonometric Functions exercise 3.5 question 1(iii)

Answer:

$\frac{-\pi}{3}$
Hints: The $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ function is a function whose domain is R-(-1,1) and The principle value branch of $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
Given: $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1} \left ( \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \right )$
Explanation: let $y=\operatorname{cosec}^{-1} \left ( \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \right )$
$\operatorname{cosec} y = \left ( \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \right )$
$\operatorname{cosec} y = \operatorname{cosec} \left ( \frac{\pi}{\sqrt{3}} \right )$ $\left[\because \operatorname{cosec} \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right]$
$\therefore y = \frac{\pi }{3}$
Hence the principal value of $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1} \left ( \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \right )$ is $\frac{\pi}{3}$

Inverse Trigonometric Functions exercise 3.5 question 1 (iv)

Answer:

$\frac{-\pi}{2}$
Hints: $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is a function whose range of principal branch is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
Thus, $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ : R-(-1,1)→ $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
Given: $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(2 \cos \frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)$
Explanation: let $y = \left(2 \cos \frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)$
$\operatorname{cosec}y = \left(2 \cos \frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)$
Range of function $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
Thus, $\operatorname{cosec}y = \left(2 \cos \frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)$
$\operatorname{cosec}y = 2 \times \frac{-1}{2}$ $\left [\cos \frac{2\pi }{3}= \frac{-1}{2} \right ]$
$\operatorname{cosec}y =-1$
$\begin{aligned} &\operatorname{cosec} y=\operatorname{cosec}\left(\frac{-\pi}{2}\right)\\ &y=\frac{-\pi}{2} \in\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right], y \neq 0\\ &\text { Hence principal value of } \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(2 \cos \frac{2 \pi}{3}\right) \text { is } \frac{-\pi}{2} \end{aligned}$

Inverse Trigonometric Functions exercise 3.5 question 2

Answer:

$\phi$
Hints: The $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ function is defined as a function whose domain is R-(-1,1) and The principal value branch of the function $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
Given: $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left ( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right )$
Explanation: Domain of $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1} \mathrm{x} \text { is }[-\infty, 1] U[1, \infty]$
Let, $y=\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left ( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right )$
But $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} <1$
Therefore, it cannot be a value of y
Hence, set value of $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left ( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right )$ is a null set $\phi$

Inverse Trigonometric Functions exercise 3.5 question 3(i)

Answer:

$\frac{-2\pi }{3}$
Hints: The principal value branch of the function $\sin ^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
The principal value branch of the function $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
Then find all the principal values b/w these intervals.
Given: $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)+\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
Explanation: $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)+\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$ …(i)
Let us solve for $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$
Let $x=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$
$\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}$
$\sin x = \sin \frac{\pi }{3}$ $\left [\because \sin \frac{\pi}{3}= \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right ]$
$x = -\frac{\pi }{3}$
$\therefore \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=\frac{-\pi}{3} \in\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$ … (ii)
Let us solve for $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
Let $y=\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
$\operatorname{cosec} y =\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
$\operatorname{cosec} y = \operatorname{cosec} \frac{\pi}{3}$ $\left [\because \operatorname{cosec} \frac{\pi}{3}= \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \right ]$
$y= \frac{-\pi}{3}$
$\therefore \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)=\frac{-\pi}{3} \in\left[\frac{-\pi}{3}, \frac{\pi}{3}\right]$ ….(iii)
Now from equation (i)
$\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)+\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
Putting the values of $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\text{ and }\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$ [from (ii) (iii)]
Hence $\left ( \frac{-\pi }{3} \right )+\left ( \frac{-\pi}{3} \right )$
$\frac{-\pi }{3} - \frac{-\pi}{3}$
$\frac{-2\pi }{3}$
Therefore, the principal value of
$\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)+\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$ is $\frac{-2\pi }{3}$

Inverse Trigonometric Functions exercise 3.5 question 3 (ii)

Answer:

$\frac{-\pi}{4}$
The principal value branch of the function $\sec ^{-1} \text { is }[0, \pi]-\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}\right]$
The principal value branch of the function $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
Then find all the principal values between these intervals
Given: $\sec ^{-1}(\sqrt{2})+2 \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$
Explanation: $\sec ^{-1}(\sqrt{2})+2 \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$ ….(i)
Let us first solve for $\sec ^{-1}(\sqrt{2})$
Let $x=\sec ^{-1}(\sqrt{2})$
$\sec x= (\sqrt{2})$
$\sec x=\sec \frac{\pi}{4}$ $\left [\because \sec \frac{\pi}{4}= \sqrt{2} \right ]$
$x = \frac{\pi}{4}$
$\therefore \sec ^{-1}(\sqrt{2})=\frac{\pi}{4} \in[0, \pi]-\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}\right]$
The principal value of $\sec ^{-1}(\sqrt{2})$ is $\frac{\pi}{4}$ …. (ii)
Now let us find $2 \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$
Let $y= 2 \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$
$\operatorname{cosec} y= 2 x (\sqrt{2})$
$\operatorname{cosec} y= 2 \operatorname{cosec} \left ( \frac{\pi}{4} \right )$
$y = 2\times\frac{-\pi }{4}$
$y = \frac{-\pi }{2}$
$\therefore 2 \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})=\frac{-\pi}{2} \in\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]-\{0\}$
The principal value of $2 \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$ is- $\frac{-\pi}{2}$ …. (iii)
Now from equation (i)
$\sec ^{-1}(\sqrt{2})+2 \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$
Putting the values of $\sec ^{-1}(\sqrt{2}) \: \text{and }2 \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$ [from (ii) and (iii)]
$\therefore \frac{\pi}{4}+\left ( \frac{-\pi }{2} \right )$
$\frac{\pi}{4}- \frac{\pi }{2}$
$\frac{\pi-2\pi}{4}$
$\frac{-\pi}{4}$
Therefore, the principal value of $\sec ^{-1}(\sqrt{2})+2 \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-\sqrt{2})$ is $\frac{-\pi}{4}$

Inverse Trigonometric Functions exercise 3.5 question 3(iii)

Answer:

$\frac{\pi}{6}$
Hints: The principal value branch of the function $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
The principal value branch of the function $\sin ^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ]$
Given: $\sin ^{-1}\left[\cos \left\{2 \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-2)\right\}\right]$
Range of $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
$\sin ^{-1}\left[\cos \left\{2 \times \frac{-\pi}{6}\right\} .\right.$ $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(\sqrt{2})= \frac{-\pi}{6}$
$\sin ^{-1}\left[\cos \left\{\frac{-\pi}{3}\right\}\right]$
$\sin ^{-1}\left[\cos \left\{\frac{-\pi}{3}\right\}\right]$ $[\cos( -\theta) = \cos \theta]$
$\begin{aligned} &\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\\ &\text { Let } y=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\\ &\sin y=\sin \frac{\pi}{6}\\ &y=\frac{\pi}{6}\\ &\therefore \sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=\frac{\pi}{6} \in\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]\\ &\text { Therefore, the principal value of }\\ &\sin ^{-1}\left[\cos \left\{2 \operatorname{cosec}^{-1}(-2)\right\}\right] \text { is } \frac{\pi}{6} \end{aligned}$

Inverse Trigonometric Functions exercise 3.5 question 3(iv)

Answer:

$\frac{-\pi}{3}$
Hints: The principal value branch of the function $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}$ is $\left [ \frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right ] \left \{ 0 \right \}$
Given: $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(2 \tan \frac{11 \pi}{6}\right)$
Explanation:
$\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(2 \tan \frac{11 \pi}{6}\right)$
$\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left ( 2 \times \left ( \frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}} \right ) \right )$ $\left [\because \tan \frac{11 \pi}{6}= \frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}} \right ]$
$\begin{aligned} &\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \\ &\text { Let, } y=\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \\ &\qquad \operatorname{cosec} y=\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right) \end{aligned}$
$\operatorname{cosec} y = \operatorname{cosec} \frac{-\pi}{3}$ $\left [ \operatorname{cosec} \frac{\pi}{3}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \right ]$
$\therefore y= \frac{-\pi}{3}$
$\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)=\frac{-\pi}{3} \quad \in\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]-\{0\}$
Therefore, the principal value of $\operatorname{cosec}^{-1}\left(2 \tan \frac{11 \pi}{6}\right)$ is $\frac{-\pi}{3}$
