KEY CONCEPTS
GENERAL DEFINITION(S):
1. sin1 x , cos1 x , tan1 x etc. denote angles or real numbers whose sine is x , whose cosine is x
and whose tangent is x, provided that the answers given are numerically smallest available . These
are also written as arc sinx , arc cosx etc .
If there are two angles one positive & the other negative having same numerical value, then
positive angle should be taken .

6. Evaluate the following :
(a) sin–1(sin10) (b) tan–1(tan (– 6)) (c) cot–1(cot 4) (d) cos–1 {sin( – 5)}
Sol. (a) We know that sin–1(sin) = , if –/2  /2
Here, = 10 radians which does not lie between –/2 and /2
 
But, 3 –  i.e., 3 – 10 lie between  and
2 2
Also, sin(3 – 10) = sin 10
 sin–1(sin 10) = sin–1 (sin (3 – 10)) = (3 – 10)
(b) We know that,
tan–1(tan) = , if –/2 <  < /2. Here,  = –6, radians which does not lie between
–/2 and /2.
We find that 2 – 6 lies between –/2 and /2 such that;
tan (2 – 6) = –tan 6 = tan(–6)
 tan–1(tan(–6)) = tan–1 (tan(2 – 6)) = (2 – 6)
(c) cot–1(cot4) = cot–1(cot( + (4 –))) = cot–1(cot(4 – )) = (4 – )
(d) Let y = cos–1 {sin(–5)} = cos–1 (– sin 5)
