Find the principal values of each of the following:

(i) cosec-1┬а(-тИЪ2)

(ii) cosec-1┬а(-2)

(iii) cosec-1┬а(2/тИЪ3)

(iv) cosec-1┬а(2 cos (2╧А/3))



Answer -

(i) Given cosec-1┬а(-тИЪ2)

Let y = cosec-1┬а(-тИЪ2)

Cosec y = -тИЪ2

тАУ Cosec y = тИЪ2

тАУ Cosec (╧А/4) = тИЪ2

тАУ Cosec (╧А/4) = cosec(-╧А/4) [since тАУcosec ╬╕ = cosec (-╬╕)]

The range of principalvalue of cosec-1┬а[-╧А/2, ╧А/2] тАУ {0} and cosec (-╧А/4) = тАУ тИЪ2

Cosec (-╧А/4) = тАУ тИЪ2

Therefore theprincipal value of cosec-1┬а(-тИЪ2) is тАУ ╧А/4

(ii) Given cosec-1┬а(-2)

Let y = cosec-1┬а(-2)

Cosec y = -2

тАУ Cosec y = 2

тАУ Cosec (╧А/6) = 2

тАУ Cosec (╧А/6) = cosec(-╧А/6) [since тАУcosec ╬╕ = cosec (-╬╕)]

The range of principalvalue of cosec-1┬а[-╧А/2, ╧А/2] тАУ {0} and cosec (-╧А/6) = тАУ 2

Cosec (-╧А/6) = тАУ 2

Therefore theprincipal value of cosec-1┬а(-2) is тАУ ╧А/6

(iii) Given cosec-1┬а(2/тИЪ3)

Let y = cosec-1┬а(2/тИЪ3)

Cosec y = (2/тИЪ3)

Cosec (╧А/3) = (2/тИЪ3)

Therefore range ofprincipal value of cosec-1┬аis [-╧А/2, ╧А/2] тАУ {0} and cosec (╧А/3)= (2/тИЪ3)

Thus, the principalvalue of cosec-1┬а(2/тИЪ3) is ╧А/3

(iv) Given cosec-1┬а(2cos (2╧А/3))

But we know that cos(2╧А/3) = тАУ ┬╜

Therefore 2 cos (2╧А/3)= 2 ├Ч тАУ ┬╜

2 cos (2╧А/3) = -1

By substituting thesevalues in cosec-1┬а(2 cos (2╧А/3)) we get,

Cosec-1┬а(-1)

Let y = cosec-1┬а(-1)

тАУ Cosec y = 1

тАУ Cosec (╧А/2) = cosec(-╧А/2) [since тАУcosec ╬╕ = cosec (-╬╕)]

The range of principalvalue of cosec-1┬а[-╧А/2, ╧А/2] тАУ {0} and cosec (-╧А/2) = тАУ 1

Cosec (-╧А/2) = тАУ 1

Therefore theprincipal value of cosec-1┬а(2 cos (2╧А/3)) is тАУ ╧А/2
