Find the value of sin−1(sin10) is:
A) 10
B) 10−3π
C) 3π−10
D) -10
Solution
Hint: Take y=sin−1(sin10) and take sin of both sides of the equation and you will get sin10=siny and then we use general solution of siny=sinx : y=2nπ+x and get a value of y which lie in the range [−2π,2π] as range of sin−1(sinx) is [−2π,2π].
Complete step-by-step answer:
Let us assume sin−1(sin10)=x
We know that the range of f(x)=sin−1x is [−2π,2π].
Here sin−1(sin10)=x so x∈[−2π,2π].
Taking sin of both sides of equations, we will get
⇒sin10=sinx.
We know the general solution for the equation. “siny=sinx “ is y=x+2κπ , where κ is any integer.
So, the general solution for sinx=sin10 will be x=10+2nπ , where n is any integer.
We have to find the value of x such that x=sin−1(sin10) and x∈[−2π,2π] .
For x=sin−1(sin10) , we have got x=10+2nπ , where ‘n’ is any integer and we know that x can belong to [−2π,2π].
So, we have to find the value of “10+2nπ “ which lies in [−2π,2π], where ‘n’ is any integer.
sinθ=1 .
As π=3.14,2π=1.57
So, (2nπ+10) should belong to [−1.57,1.57]
We know π=3.14
So, 3π=3(3.14)=9.42
And 4π=4(3.14)=12.56 .
So, 10 will lie between 3π and 4π
i.e. 3π<10<4π .
we know sin10=sin(2nπ+10),n∈I
Let us take n=−1
2nπ+10=10−2π=10−2(3.14)=10−6.28=3.72
Hence, sin(10)=sin(3.72)=sin(10−2π) ……………….(1)
But 3.72 also don’t lie between [−2π,2π] i.e. (−1.57,1.57)
Now, we know that sin(π−θ)=sinθ .
Taking θ=(10−2π) , we will get
sin(π−(10−2π))=sin(10−2π)⇒sin(π−10+2π)=sin(10−2π)
⇒sin(3π−10)=sin(10−2π) ………….(2)
From eq (1) and (2)
sin(10)=sin(3π−10)
And
3π−10=3(3.14)−10=9.42−10=0.580.58∈[−1.57,1.57]⇒(3π−10)∈[−2π,2π]
So, we have got an angle (3π−10) such that sin(3π−10)=sin10 and 3π−10∈[−2π,2π] .
Hence the value of sin−1(sin10)=(3π−10) and option (C) is the correct answer.
Note: Students can do mistake by directly taking sin−1(sin10)=10 , but be careful that range of y=sin−1(sinx) will be [−2π,2π] and 10 doesn’t belong to this range.
