## Examples based on inverse trigonometric function formula:

1. Find the principal value of sin–1($$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$ ).
Solution:
Let sin–1($$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$ ) = y. Then, sin y = ( $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$ )

We know that the range of the principal value branch of sin–1 is [-$$\frac{π}{2}$$, $$\frac{π}{2}$$].
Also, sin( $$\frac{π}{4}$$ ) = $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$
so, principal value of sin-1( $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$ ) is $$\frac{π}{4}$$.
2. Write cot-1( $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{{x}^2-1}}$$ ), | x | > 1 in the simplest form.
Solution:
Let x = sec θ, then $$\sqrt{{x}^2-1}$$ = $$\sqrt{{sec}^2θ-1}$$ = tan θ

Therefore, cot–1= $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^{2}–1}}$$ = cot–1 (cot θ) = θ = sec–1 x, which is the simplest form.
