Inverse Trigonometric Functions · Question 10 of 120

Question 10

EasyOriginal question

Read the two statements and choose the correct option.

I. cot⁡−10\cot^{-1} 0 is defined, and equals π2\frac{\pi}{2}.

II. cosec⁡−112\operatorname{cosec}^{-1} \frac{1}{2} is defined, and equals π6\frac{\pi}{6}.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. I: cot⁡−1\cot^{-1} is defined on all of R\mathbb{R}, and cot⁡π2=0\cot \frac{\pi}{2} = 0 with π2\frac{\pi}{2} in (0,π)(0, \pi). True.

  2. II: cosec⁡−1\operatorname{cosec}^{-1} needs ∣x∣≥1\lvert x \rvert \ge 1, and 12\frac{1}{2} lies in (−1,1)(-1, 1); π6\frac{\pi}{6} is cosec⁡−12\operatorname{cosec}^{-1} 2. False.

Worth noting

II reads cosec⁡−112\operatorname{cosec}^{-1} \frac{1}{2} as sin⁡−112\sin^{-1} \frac{1}{2}; in fact cosec⁡−1x=sin⁡−11x\operatorname{cosec}^{-1} x = \sin^{-1} \frac{1}{x}, which here would be sin⁡−12\sin^{-1} 2.
