Question
Write the value of $\cos^{-1}\Big(\cos\frac{5\pi}{4}\Big).$
✓
Answer
$\cos^{-1}\Big(\cos\frac{5\pi}{4}\Big)\neq\frac{5\pi}{4}$ as $\frac{5\pi}{4}$ does not lie between 0 and $\pi.$
We have
$\cos^{-1}\Big(\cos\frac{5\pi}{4}\Big)$
$=\cos^{-1}\Big\{\cos\Big(2\pi-\frac{3\pi}{4}\Big)\Big\}$
$=\cos^{-1}\Big\{\cos\Big(\frac{3\pi}{4}\Big)\Big\}$
$=\frac{3\pi}{4}$
