Solution

Let's break down the problems from the image you uploaded:


Problem 91: sin1(0)\sin^{-1}(0)

  • The inverse sine of 00 asks for the angle whose sine value is 0.
  • sin1(0)=0\sin^{-1}(0) = 0, because the sine of 00 radians is 0.

Problem 94: cos1(32)\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)

  • The inverse cosine of 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} asks for the angle whose cosine value is 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.
  • The angle whose cosine is 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} is π6\frac{\pi}{6} radians, or 30 degrees.

Thus, cos1(32)=π6\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{6}.


Problem 97: tan1(3)\tan^{-1}(\sqrt{3})

  • The inverse tangent of 3\sqrt{3} asks for the angle whose tangent value is 3\sqrt{3}.
  • The angle whose tangent is 3\sqrt{3} is π3\frac{\pi}{3} radians, or 60 degrees.

Thus, tan1(3)=π3\tan^{-1}(\sqrt{3}) = \frac{\pi}{3}.


Problem 90: tan1(33)\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\right)

  • The inverse tangent of 33\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} asks for the angle whose tangent value is 33\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}.
  • The angle whose tangent is 33\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} is π6\frac{\pi}{6} radians, or 30 degrees.

Thus, tan1(33)=π6\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\right) = \frac{\pi}{6}.


Problem 93: sin1(32)\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)

  • The inverse sine of 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} asks for the angle whose sine value is 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.
  • The angle whose sine is 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} is π3\frac{\pi}{3} radians, or 60 degrees.

Thus, sin1(32)=π3\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{3}.
