Math Problem Statement

The value of cos-1

(sin(π/4)) is:

Solution

To solve cos1(sin(π4))\cos^{-1}(\sin(\frac{\pi}{4})), follow these steps:

Step 1: Evaluate sin(π4)\sin(\frac{\pi}{4})

We know that: sin(π4)=22\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

Step 2: Now find cos1(22)\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right)

The inverse cosine function gives the angle whose cosine is 22\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.

From trigonometry, we know: cos(π4)=22\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

Therefore: cos1(22)=π4\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{4}

Final Answer:

cos1(sin(π4))=π4\cos^{-1}(\sin(\frac{\pi}{4})) = \frac{\pi}{4}
