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

Answer

$2\sin^{-1}\frac{1}{2}+\cos^{-1}\Big(-\frac{1}{2}\Big)$
$=\sin^{-1}2\times\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{1-\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^2}+\cos^{-1}\Big(-\frac{1}{2}\Big)$
$=\sin^{-1}\frac{\sqrt3}{2}+\cos^{-1}\Big(-\frac{1}{2}\Big)$
$=\sin^{-1}\Big(\sin\frac{\pi}{3}\Big)+\cos^{-1}\Big(\cos\frac{2\pi}{3}\Big)$
$=\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{2\pi}{3}$
$=\pi$
