Evaluate  sin[ tan-1 (- 1) ]



Solution

sin[ tan-1 (- 1) ] is a number lying between straight pi over 2 space and space straight pi over 2 [ by definition ]
and tan x = -1 when x = negative straight pi over 4
therefore space space space space tan to the power of negative 1 end exponent left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis space equals space minus straight pi over 4
Now sin [ tan-1 (- 1) = sin open parentheses negative straight pi over 4 close parentheses equals negative fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 2 end fraction
