100 points!To solve the problem cos-1(cos(-pi/6)), find the angle in the interval (0,pi) whose cosine is sqrt3/2.

Sagot :

why did we use the positive version of π/6?

well, the inverse cosine function has a range of [0 , π], and -π/6 is on the IV Quadrant, out of the range for it, however it has a twin due to symmetry on the I Quadrant, that is π/6, thus the reason.

Answer:

Pi over 6.

I did it, but can't figure out how to add a picture.
