For the principal values, evaluate the following:
(i) sin-112-2 sin-112
(ii) sin-1-12+2 cos-1-32
(iii) tan-1(-1)+cos-1-12
(iv) sin-1-32+cos-132

Solution

(i)
sin-112-2sin-112=sin-1sinπ6-2sin-1sinπ4 Range of sine is -π2, π2 and π6, π4 -π2, π2=π6-2π4=π6-π2=-π3
sin-112-2sin-112=-π3
(ii)

sin-1-12+2cos-1-32=sin-1sin-π6+2cos-1cos5π6 Range of sine is -π2, π2 ; -π6 -π2, π2 and range of cosine is 0, π ; 5π6 0, π=-π6+25π6=-π6+5π3=9π6=3π2
sin-1-12+2cos-1-32=3π2

(iii)
tan-1-1+cos-1-12=tan-1tan-π4+cos-1cos3π4 Range of tan is -π2, π2 ; -π4 -π2, π2 and range of cosine is 0, π ; 3π4 0, π=-π4+3π4=π2
tan-1-1+cos-1-12=π2

(iv)

sin-1-32+cos-132=sin-1sin-π3+cos-1cosπ6 =-π3+π6 Range of sine is -π2, π2 ; -π3 -π2, π2 and range of cosine is 0, π ; π6 0, π=-π6
sin-1-32+cos-132=-π6
