Problems 3 to 5 1 pt each Find the values exactly 3 arccos 1
Problems 3 to 5: 1 pt. each. Find the values exactly. 3. arccos (-1/2) 4. arcsin (-2/2) 5. arccot (3)
Solution
solution:
3)
 = arccos(-½)
 = 2/3, 4/3
4) actually you cannot since the range of the inverse sine function is [- / 2 ,  / 2 ]
 
 but ignoring that if  = arcsin (- 2 / 2 ) then sin  = - 1 /  2 , which you should know what the value of  needs to be ...- 4
5)
let: arccot(sqrt(3)) = x, then:
 cot(x) = sqrt(3)
 1/tan(x) = sqrt(3)
 tan(x) = 1/sqrt(3)
 x = arctan(1/sqrt(3))
 x = pi/3 + kpi
 x = 2pi/3 , 5pi/3
