Can someone help me with a series of questions? I will fan and medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\cos(\sin^{-1} \sqrt{2}/2)\]

OpenStudy (badhi):

\(\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt2}{2}\right)\implies \sin(\theta)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\) Find \(\cos(\theta)\) from this (by drawing the triangle or using an identity) now you know the value of \(\cos(\theta)\) which means you know the value of \[\cos\left(\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt2}{2}\right)\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its \[\sqrt{2}/2 \because \pi/4, the \cos is \sqrt{2}/2\] @BAdhi

OpenStudy (badhi):

Yes simply it is \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) In this case we know that \(\sin(\theta)=\sqrt{2}/2\) gives \(\theta =45^\circ\). But in general we do not have to find the value of the angle...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\cos^{-1} (\sin 5\pi/4)\] How would I do this one? @BAdhi

OpenStudy (badhi):

Final answer should be an angle (say \(\theta\)) \(\cos^{-1}\left(\sin\left(5\pi/4\right)\right)=\theta\) \(\sin(5\pi/4)=\cos\theta\) \(\sin(5\pi/4)=\sin(\pi/2-\theta)\) Find \(\theta\)

Sorry for asking so many questions \[\tan(\sin^{-1} (1/3))\] Where's sin 1/3? @BAdhi
