Question
Choose the correct answer from the given four options.
The value of the expression $2\sec^{-1}2+\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)$ is:
  1. $\frac{\pi}{6}$
  2. $\frac{5\pi}{6}$
  3. $\frac{7\pi}{6}$
  4. $1$

Answer

  1. $\frac{5\pi}{6}$

Solution:

We have, $2\sec^{-1}2+\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)=2\sec^{-1}\sec\frac{\pi}{3}+\sin^{-1}\sin\frac{\pi}{6}$

$=2\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{\pi}{6}$

$[\because\ \sec^{-1}(\sec\text{x})=\text{x and }\sin^{-1}(\sin\text{x})=\text{x}]$

$=\frac{4\pi+\pi}{6}=\frac{5\pi}{6}$
