Question
Write the principal value of $\sin^{-1}\Big\{\cos\Big(\sin^{-1}\frac{1}{2}\Big)\Big\}$

Answer

$\sin^{-1}\Big\{\cos\Big(\sin^{-1}\frac{1}{2}\Big)\Big\}$
$=\sin^{-1}\Big\{\cos\Big[\sin^{-1}\Big(\sin\frac{\pi}{3}\Big)\Big]\Big\}$
$=\sin^{-1}\Big[\cos\Big(\frac{\pi}{3}\Big)\Big]$
$=\sin^{-1}\Big[\frac{1}{2}\Big]$
$=\sin^{-1}\Big[\sin\Big(\frac{\pi}{3}\Big)\Big]$
$=\frac{\pi}{3}$
