Open in App
Solution

Solution of trigonometric functions : We will solve the given question with in some steps

Step 1: First we write cos53π5=cos50π+3π5

=cos(50π5+3π5)=cos(10π+3π5)

Step 2: Now we know that cos(2nπ+θ)=cosθ where n∈Z

So cos(10π+3π5)=cos(3π5)

Step 3: Now we write sin-1cos(53π5)=sin-1(cos(3π5))

Step 4: We know that sin(π2-θ)=cosθ

Hence, cos(3π5)=sin(π2-3π5)=sin(5π-6π10)=sin(-π10)

Step 5: We have the formula that sin(-θ)=-sinθ so

sin(-π10)=-sin(π10)

Step 6: sin-1cos(53π5)=sin-1(-sin(π10))=-sin-1(sin(π10))=-π10 (from step 5 we put the value )

Hence, the value of sin-1cos53π5 is -π10.
