Question

$\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{3}-~\sec ^{-1}(-2)$ is equal to

✓

Answer

Let us take
$\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})=x$ Then we get,
$tanx=\sqrt{3}=tan \frac{\pi}{3}$
$\Rightarrow ~x=\frac{\pi}3$
We know that range of the principle value branch of tan^-1 is $\left[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right]$
Therefore,x = $\tan ^{-1}(\sqrt{3})=\frac{\pi}{3}$
Let $\sec ^{-1}(-2)=y$ then we get,
$\text { sec } \mathrm{y}=-2=-\sec \frac{\pi}{3}=\sec \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\sec \left(\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)$
We know that range of the principle value branch of sec^-1 is $[0, \pi]$
Therefore, $\sec ^{-1}(-2)=\frac{2 \pi}{3}$
Hence, $\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{3}-~\sec ^{-1}(-2)$= $\frac{\pi}3$$-\frac{2 \pi}{3}= -\frac {\pi}3$
