and what did you get

velmalovesshaggy145:

sin^-1 is the inverse of a sine function

velmalovesshaggy145:

in terms of cosine it is 1/cos x(i think)

velmalovesshaggy145:

I need to find the exact value of given inverse trigonometric expressions

velmalovesshaggy145:

Couple weeks ago, before christmas break we covered the unit circle

velmalovesshaggy145:

sine means x basically

velmalovesshaggy145:

inverse means switch it(my interpretation)

velmalovesshaggy145:

therefore to find the value I would be looking for the unit circle point with sqrt3/2 as the y int

velmalovesshaggy145:

negative or positive

velmalovesshaggy145:

but since i want to know positive sin^-1sqrt3/2 first the answer i got is pi/3

velmalovesshaggy145:

but desmos says its undefined
