Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 12th Mathematics - Chapter Inverse Trigonometric Functions. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 7: find the principal value of begin align sec 1....
Question 7

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

Answer

\begin{align} Let \;\; sec^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt3}\right)=y \;\;Then\;\; sec y = \frac{2}{\sqrt3} = sec\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right)\end{align}

We know that the range of the principal value branch of sec−1 is 

 \begin{align} \left[0,\pi\right] - \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) and \;\;sec\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) = \frac{2}{\sqrt3}\end{align}

Therefore, the principal value of

 \begin{align} sec^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt3}\right) is \frac{\pi}{6}\end{align}
