Ex 2.1, 5 Find the principal value of cos−1 (−1/2) Let y = cos−1 (−1/2) cos y = −1/2 cos y = cos (2π/3). Range of principal value of cos−1 is [0 , 𝜋] Hence, the principal value is 𝟐𝝅/𝟑. Rough We know that cos 60° = 1/2 θ = 60° = 60° × 𝜋/180 = 𝜋/3 Since (−1)/2 is negative Principal value is 𝜋 – θ i.e. π −𝜋/3 = 2𝜋/3
