The function tan⁻¹x is defined for all real values.
6. The range of the function sec⁻¹x is:
Answer:
Explanation:
The function sec⁻¹x takes values in [0, π] but is not defined at π/2.
7. The value of sin⁻¹(0) is:
Answer:
Explanation:
The inverse sine of 0 is 0.
8. If x = tan⁻¹(√3), then the value of sin(2x) is:
Answer:
Explanation:
x = π/3. Using the double angle formula, sin(2x) = sin(2π/3) = 0.
9. The value of cos⁻¹(0) is:
Answer:
Explanation:
The inverse cosine of 0 is π/2.
