Question

Find the value of `2cos^-1 (1/2) + sin^-1 (1/2)`

Sum

Solution

y = `cos^-1  (1/2)`

cos y = `1/2 = cos  pi/3`

y = `pi/3 ∈[0, pi]`

x = `sin^-1  (1/2)`

sin x = `1/2 = sin  pi/3`

x = `pi/6 ∈[0, pi]`

`2cos^1(1/2) + sin^-1(1/2) = 2(pi/3) + pi/6`

= `(2pi)/3 + pi/6`

= `(4pi + pi)/6`

= `(5pi)/6`
