Mathematics Question on Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Find the principal value of cosec-1(2)(2)

Answer

Let cosec-1(2)(2) = y.
Then, cosecy=2=cosec(π6)cosec \,y =2= cosec \bigg(\frac{\pi}{6}\bigg)
We know that the range of the principal value branch of cosec-1 is [π2,π2]0\bigg[\frac {-\pi}{2},\frac {\pi}{2}\bigg]-\\{0\\}
Therefore, the principal value of cosec-1(2)isπ6(2) is \,\frac {\pi}{6}
