Solution steps
arccos(sin(−45π​))
Use the following property: sin(−x)=−sin(x)sin(−45π​)=−sin(45π​)=arccos(−sin(45π​))
Rewrite using trig identities:sin(45π​)=−sin(43π​)
sin(45π​)
Use the following identity:sin(x)=−sin(2π−x)
sin(x)
Use the following property: sin(θ)=−sin(−θ)sin(x)=−sin(−x)=−sin(−x)
Apply the periodicity of sin: sin(2π+θ)=sin(θ)−sin(−x)=−sin(2π−x)=−sin(2π−x)
=−sin(2π−45π​)
Simplify:2π−45π​=43π​
2π−45π​
Convert element to fraction: 2π=42π4​=42π4​−45π​
Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions: ca​±cb​=ca±b​=42π4−5π​
2π4−5π=3π
2π4−5π
Multiply the numbers: 2⋅4=8=8π−5π
Add similar elements: 8π−5π=3π=3π
=43π​
=−sin(43π​)
=arccos(−(−sin(43π​)))
Simplify=arccos(sin(43π​))
Rewrite using trig identities:sin(43π​)=sin(4π​)
sin(43π​)
Use the basic trigonometric identity: sin(x)=sin(π−x)=sin(π−43π​)
Simplify:π−43π​=4π​
π−43π​
Convert element to fraction: π=4π4​=4π4​−43π​
Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions: ca​±cb​=ca±b​=4π4−3π​
Add similar elements: 4π−3π=π=4π​
=sin(4π​)
=arccos(sin(4π​))
Rewrite using trig identities:sin(4π​)=cos(4π​)
sin(4π​)
cos(2π​−x)=sin(x)
=cos(2π​−4π​)
=cos(4π​)
=arccos(cos(4π​))
Use the inverse trig property:4π​
arccos(cos(4π​))
For 0≤x≤π,arccos(cos(x))=x
0≤4π​≤π
=4π​
=4π​
