arcsin(sec(pi))

arcsin (sec (π))

- \frac{π}{2}

Decimal Notation

- 90

Solution steps

arcsin (sec (π))

Use the following trivial identity:

sec (π) = (- 1)

sec (π)

sec (x)

periodicity table with

2 πn

cycle:

x 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} \frac{2 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{4} \frac{5 π}{6} sec (x) 1 \frac{2 3}{3} 22 Undefined - 2 - 2 - \frac{2 3}{3} x π \frac{7 π}{6} \frac{5 π}{4} \frac{4 π}{3} \frac{3 π}{2} \frac{5 π}{3} \frac{7 π}{4} \frac{11 π}{6} sec (x) - 1 - \frac{2 3}{3} - 2 - 2 Undefined 22 \frac{2 3}{3}

= arcsin (- 1)

= arcsin (- 1)

Rewrite using trig identities:

arcsin (- 1) = - \frac{π}{2}

arcsin (- 1)

Use the following property:

arcsin (- x) = - arcsin (x)

arcsin (- 1) = - arcsin (1)

= - arcsin (1)

Use the following trivial identity:

arcsin (1) = \frac{π}{2}

arcsin (1)

x 0 \frac{1}{2} \frac{2}{2} \frac{3}{2} 1 arcsin (x) 0 \frac{π}{6} \frac{π}{4} \frac{π}{3} \frac{π}{2} arcsin (x) 0^{\circ} 3 0^{\circ} 4 5^{\circ} 6 0^{\circ} 9 0^{\circ}

= \frac{π}{2}

= - \frac{π}{2}

= - \frac{π}{2}
