Inverse Trigonometric Functions Question 43

Question: If $ {{\cos }^{-1}}x+{{\cos }^{-1}}y=2\pi , $ then $ {{\sin }^{-1}}x+{{\sin }^{-1}}y $ is equal to

Options:

A) $ \pi $

B) $ -\pi $

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

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ {{\cos }^{-1}}x+{{\cos }^{-1}}y=2\pi $

$ \Rightarrow \frac{\pi }{2}-{{\sin }^{-1}}x+\frac{\pi }{2}-{{\sin }^{-1}}y=2\pi $

$ \Rightarrow \pi -({{\sin }^{-1}}x+{{\sin }^{-1}}y)=2\pi $

$ \Rightarrow {{\sin }^{-1}}x+{{\sin }^{-1}}y=-\pi $
