#### Question 4:

​Find the principal values of each of the following:

(i) ${\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$
(ii) ${\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$
(iii) ${\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{sin}\frac{4\mathrm{\pi }}{3}\right)$

(iv) ${\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{tan}\frac{3\mathrm{\pi }}{4}\right)$

(i)  Let ${\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=y$
Then,
$\mathrm{cos}y=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
We know that the range of the principal value branch is $\left[0,\mathrm{\pi }\right]$.
Thus,
$\mathrm{cos}y=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\mathrm{cos}\left(\frac{5\mathrm{\pi }}{6}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒y=\frac{5\mathrm{\pi }}{6}\in \left[0,\mathrm{\pi }\right]$
Hence, the principal value of .

(ii) Let ${\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=y$
Then,
$\mathrm{cos}y=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
We know that the range of the principal value branch is .
Thus,
$\mathrm{cos}y=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\mathrm{cos}\left(\frac{3\mathrm{\pi }}{4}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒y=\frac{3\mathrm{\pi }}{4}\in \left[0,\mathrm{\pi }\right]$
Hence, the principal value of .

(iii) Let ${\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{sin}\frac{4\mathrm{\pi }}{3}\right)=y$
Then,
$\mathrm{cos}y=\mathrm{sin}\frac{4\mathrm{\pi }}{3}$
We know that the range of the principal value branch is $\left[0,\mathrm{\pi }\right]$.
Thus,
$\mathrm{cos}y=\mathrm{sin}\frac{4\mathrm{\pi }}{3}=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\mathrm{cos}\left(\frac{5\mathrm{\pi }}{6}\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒y=\frac{5\mathrm{\pi }}{6}\in \left[0,\mathrm{\pi }\right]$
Hence, the principal value of .

(iv) Let ${\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{tan}\frac{3\mathrm{\pi }}{4}\right)=y$
Then,
$\mathrm{cos}y=\mathrm{tan}\frac{3\mathrm{\pi }}{4}$
We know that the range of the principal value branch is $\left[0,\mathrm{\pi }\right]$.
Thus,
$\mathrm{cos}y=\mathrm{tan}\frac{3\mathrm{\pi }}{4}=-1=\mathrm{cos}\left(\mathrm{\pi }\right)\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}⇒y=\mathrm{\pi }\in \left[0,\mathrm{\pi }\right]$
Hence, the principal value of .

$\therefore {\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)+2{\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=\frac{3\mathrm{\pi }}{2}$

$\therefore {\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)+{\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=-\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{6}$
