Question 2

Find the principal value of \begin{align} cos^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\right)\end{align}

Answer

\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}
