Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If x = cos^(-1)(1/2), then what is the value of sin^(-1)(x)?
Correct Answer: π/6
  • Step 1: Understand that cos^(-1)(1/2) means we are looking for an angle whose cosine value is 1/2.
  • Step 2: Recall that the angle π/3 (or 60 degrees) has a cosine value of 1/2.
  • Step 3: Therefore, we can say x = π/3.
  • Step 4: Now, we need to find sin^(-1)(x), which means we are looking for an angle whose sine value is x (which is π/3).
  • Step 5: Recall that sin(π/6) = 1/2, so sin^(-1)(1/2) = π/6.
  • Step 6: Therefore, the final answer is sin^(-1)(x) = π/6.
