Class 12 Maths · Inverse Trigonometric Functions · Short Answer #90

Evaluate \(\tan^{-1}1+\cos^{-1}(-1/2)+\sin^{-1}(-1/2)\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: 3π/4
  1. The principal values are arctan1=π/4, arccos(−1/2)=2π/3 and arcsin(−1/2)=−π/6.
  2. Add them using denominator 12: (3+8−2)π/12=9π/12.
  3. The value is 3π/4.
