Inverse Trigonometric Functions Question 135

Question: If $ \pi \le x\le 2\pi $ , then $ {{\cos }^{-1}}(\cos x) $ is equal to

Options:

A) $ x $

B) $ -x $

C) $ 2\pi +x $

D) $ 2\pi -x $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

It is given that $ \pi \le x\le 2\pi $

$ \Rightarrow -\pi \ge -x\ge -2\pi \Rightarrow \pi \ge 2\pi -x\ge 0 $

$ \Rightarrow {{\cos }^{-1}}{ \cos (2\pi -x) }=2\pi -x $ .
