Question 68

EasyOriginal question

The point (p,π3)\left(p, \frac{\pi}{3}\right) lies on the curve y=sin⁡−1xy = \sin^{-1} x. Which point is its mirror image in the line y=xy = x, on the curve y=sin⁡xy = \sin x, −π2≤x≤π2-\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{\pi}{2}?

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. sin⁡−1p=π3\sin^{-1} p = \frac{\pi}{3} gives p=sin⁡π3=32p = \sin \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.

  2. Reflecting in y=xy = x swaps the coordinates: (π3,32)\left(\frac{\pi}{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right), and indeed sin⁡π3=32\sin \frac{\pi}{3} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.

Worth noting

(32,π3)\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{\pi}{3}\right) is the point on y=sin⁡−1xy = \sin^{-1} x itself; its mirror image swaps the coordinates.
