Inverse Trigonometric Functions Question 176

Question: $ \sin [ \frac{\pi }{2}-{{\sin }^{-1}}( -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} ) ]= $

Options:

A) $ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $

B) $ -\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $

C) $ \frac{1}{2} $

D) $ -\frac{1}{2} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

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

$ =\cos {{\cos }^{-1}}\sqrt{1-\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{1}{2} $ .
