Find the principal value of ^ -1 (1 2 ). - Vidyadip

Question

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

✓

Answer

(a) : Let $x=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$, then $\sin x=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
We know that the range of principal value branch of $\sin ^{-1}$ is $\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$ and $\sin x=\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \Rightarrow x=\frac{\pi}{4} \in\left[\frac{-\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$
$\therefore \quad$ Principal value is $\frac{\pi}{4}$.
