Find the exact values of the following expressions. Do not use a calculator. sin^-1(sin 2pi/3) sec(arc cos 2/3) sim(2 tan^-1(3/5))
Solution
sec(cos-12/3)
Let cos-12/3=t
cos t = 2/3
Sec t = 1/cos t= 3/2
Therefore sec(cos-12/3)= 3/2
c. sin(2 tan-13/5)
tan-13/5=t
tan t= 3/5
Opposite=3 and adjacent=5
Hypotenuse= sqrt(25+9) = sqrt 34
Sin t= 3/sqrt34 cos t= 5/sqrt34
Sin 2t= 2sin t cos t= 15/17
Therefore sin(2tan-13/5)= 15/17
