Question

Find the principal value of `cot^(-1) (sqrt3)`

Sum

Solution

Let `cot^(-1)(sqrt3) = y` Then `cot y = sqrt3 = cot (pi/6)`

We know that the range of the principal value branch of cot−1 is (0,π) 

`"Then"cot (pi/6) = sqrt3`

Where `pi/6 ∈ (0, pi)`

Therefore, the principal value of `cot^(-1) (sqrt3) " is " pi/6.`
