Class 12 Maths · Inverse Trigonometric Functions · Short Answer #60

For \(-\pi/4<x<\pi/4\), simplify \(\sin^{-1}[(\sin x+\cos x)/\sqrt2]\).

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: x+π/4
  1. Use (sin x+cos x)/√2=sin(x+π/4).
  2. The domain gives 0<x+π/4<π/2, inside the principal arcsine interval.
  3. Thus the expression equals x+π/4.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] Use (sin x+cos x)/√2=sin(x+π/4).
  • [1 mark] The domain gives 0<x+π/4<π/2, inside the principal arcsine interval.
  • [0.5 marks] Thus the expression equals x+π/4.
