Class 12 Mathematics - Chapter Inverse Trigonometric Functions NCERT Solutions | Find the principal value of \begin{align
Find the principal value of \begin{align} cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\right)\end{align}
\begin{align} Let\;\; cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\right)=y, \;\;Then,\;\; cos y = \frac{\sqrt3}{2} = cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\end{align}
We know that the range of the principal value branch of cos−1 is
\begin{align} \left[0,\pi\right] and \;\;cos\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{\sqrt3}{2}\end{align}
Therefore, the principal value of
\begin{align} cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\right) is \frac{\pi}{6}\end{align}
