Question
Question: The value of \({\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {\cos \dfrac{{53\pi }}{5}} \right)\) is A.\(\dfrac{{3\pi }}{5...
The value of sin−1(cos553π) is
A.53π
B.5−3π
C.10π
D.10−π
Explanation
Solution
Hint : Try to break angles in general angles.
We know,
cos(2kπ+θ)=cosθ
So, on comparing the above equation with question we get,
cos553π= cos(10π+53π)=cos53π ……(i)
We know,
53π=2π+10π ……(ii)
And we also know,
cos(2π+10π)= −sin10π= cos53π ……(iii) (From i & ii )
We have to find the value of
sin−1(cos553π)
We know the value of (cos553π) is −sin10π
So, sin−1(cos553π)=sin−1(−sin10π)=−10π
As we know(sin−1sina=a)
Hence the correct option is (D).
Note : In these types of problems of finding value of trigonometry we have to use the quadrant rule of finding angle and also use some of the properties of inverse trigonometric functions as shown above.
