Question
For the principal values, evaluate the following:
$\sin^{-1}\Big(-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\Big)+\text{cosec}^{-1}\Big(-\frac{2}{\sqrt3}\Big)$

Answer

$\sin^{-1}\Big(-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\Big)+\text{cosec}^{-1}\Big(-\frac{2}{\sqrt3}\Big)$
$=-\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\Big)+\text{cosec}^{-1}\Big(-\frac{2}{\sqrt3}\Big)$
$=-\sin^{-1}\Big(\sin\frac{\pi}{3}\Big)+\text{cosec}^{-1}\Big[\text{cosec}\Big(-\frac{\pi}{3}\Big)\Big]$
$=-\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{3}$
$=-\frac{2\pi}{3}$
