CBSEENMA12032634

Find the principal values of the following

sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent open parentheses negative 1 half close parentheses

Solution
Let space straight y space equals space sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent open parentheses negative 1 half close parentheses space space where space minus straight pi over 2 space less or equal than space straight y space less or equal than space straight pi over 2
therefore space space sin space straight y space equals space minus 1 half space space space space space space space where space minus straight pi over 2 space less or equal than space straight y space less or equal than space straight pi over 2
therefore space space straight y equals negative straight pi over 6 space space space space space space space space space space space space space space open square brackets because space sin space open parentheses negative straight pi over 6 close parentheses equals negative sin straight pi over 6 equals negative 1 half close square brackets
therefore required principal value = space minus straight pi over 6
