Question
Find the principal value of $\sin ^ { - 1 } \left( - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \right).$
✓

Answer

Let y = sin-1$\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$
sin y = $\frac{-1}{2}$
sin y = sin $\left(\frac{-\pi}{6}\right)$
Range of principal value of sin-1 is between $\frac{-\pi}{2}$ and $\frac{\pi}{2}$
Hence, the principal value is $\frac{-\pi}{6}$
