arcsin(1)-arcsin(-1/2)

Solution

arcsin (1) - arcsin (- \frac{1}{2})

Solution

\frac{2 π}{3}

Decimal Notation

120

Solution steps

arcsin (1) - arcsin (- \frac{1}{2})

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}

Rewrite using trig identities:

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2}) = - \frac{π}{6}

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2})

Use the following property:

arcsin (- x) = - arcsin (x)

arcsin (- \frac{1}{2}) = - arcsin (\frac{1}{2})

= - arcsin (\frac{1}{2})

Use the following trivial identity:

arcsin (\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{π}{6}

arcsin (\frac{1}{2})

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}{6}

= - \frac{π}{6}

= \frac{π}{2} - (- \frac{π}{6})

Simplify

\frac{π}{2} - (- \frac{π}{6}) : \frac{2 π}{3}

\frac{π}{2} - (- \frac{π}{6})

Apply rule

- (- a) = a

= \frac{π}{2} + \frac{π}{6}

Least Common Multiplier of

Least Common Multiplier (LCM)

Prime factorization of

2 : 2

2

2

is a prime number, therefore no factorization is possible

= 2

Prime factorization of

6 : 2 \cdot 3

6

6

divides by

26 = 3 \cdot 2

= 2 \cdot 3

2, 3

are all prime numbers, therefore no further factorization is possible

= 2 \cdot 3

Multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either

2

6

= 2 \cdot 3

Multiply the numbers:

2 \cdot 3 = 6

= 6

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

6

For

\frac{π}{2} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

3

\frac{π}{2} = \frac{π 3}{2 \cdot 3} = \frac{π 3}{6}

= \frac{π 3}{6} + \frac{π}{6}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{π 3 + π}{6}

Add similar elements:

3 π + π = 4 π

= \frac{4 π}{6}

Cancel the common factor:

2

= \frac{2 π}{3}

= \frac{2 π}{3}
