Question no .

What is the domain and range of y = arcsin x and arccosx?


Solution:
The domain of y = arcsin x is [-1,1]
Range of y = arcsin x = [-pi/2, pi/2]

Domain of y = arccos x = [-1,1]


Range of y = arccos x = [0, pi]

Question no .7

, find all possible values of  in the range -180 ≤  ≤ 180.

Given that sin  
2
Solution:
3
  sin 1 ( )  60
2
Also by using symmetry property:
sin(180   )  sin( )  sin(180  (60))  sin(240) to get 240 as a solution.
Note that 240 must be a solution but it does not lies in our range -180 ≤  ≤ 180.
Now use the periodic property: sin(240) = sin(240 - 360). So another solution is -
120degrees.
All the solutions are  60 and  120 degrees.
