. We're sorry about the hassle.
This is just half wrong, we know exactly that 10 ist also a valid answer.

No it is not, all functions give only one definite output. In this case it should be between -pi/2 and pi/2
The angle is always taken in radians unless mentioned otherwise. Thus, the angle - 10 is in radians, which requires processing as in Archit's solution.
Why can't the 10 be in degrees and not radians?

By default, it is measured in radians, unless otherwise specified. Just a standard for math.
Lawl. This question's rating dropped from 100 points to 55 points in 15 minutes :D. Good solution. BTW, Aren't you Akshat's brother?
Log in to reply
Yes, I am. Can you tell me more about yourself, and how you know my brother?
Log in to reply
I don't think I have a special identity like your brother! I mean he's really talented and has so many accolades to his name. You're following his footsteps for sure because you're 2 years younger to me and are still a level 5 in calculus whereas I ain't! How did you learn so much? :P

@Krishna Ar – I go to FIITJEE, and I just spend some time on the internet on websites like brilliant.
In your solution, sin(x+(2n+1)π) = -sin(x), how did you know that n should be 1?
Log in to reply
I chose a value of n such that -10+(2n+1)π lies between -pi/2 and pi/2
Log in to reply
Beetween -Pi/2 and pi/2 is also same as pi, right? Minus here as different direction. And how do you know that the value is between them if i was wrong?

@Hafizh Ahsan Permana – Yes you were right when you said that -pi/2 has a different direction. But to inverse trigo functions , a fundamental domain has been provided which contains all possible values of the function.
All possible values of sinx can lie between domain -pi/2 and pi/2
So, this fundamental range for sin inverse is from -pi/2 and pi/2.
It could have been between 0 and pi, but it is the way it is.
Archit, when you say range, do you mean domain? (x-values)
Log in to reply
No, I mean range only, because this is sin inverse not sin.
The domain of sin inverse x is [-1,1]
Doesnt 10 radians put you at the same point on a circle as 3pi-10?
Log in to reply
Yes, but the inverse sin function has output between plus-or-minus pi/2 only. Ten is not in that range.
yeah sure dude
the answer actually 10
Recall that sin x = ( − 1 ) k sin ( x − k π ) for all integers k . Applying the odd function arcsin on both sides, we find that arcsin ( sin x ) = ( − 1 ) k arcsin ( sin ( x − k π ) ) . For x = 1 0 we choose k = 3 so that x − k π falls in the interval [ − π / 2 , π / 2 ] . Now arcsin ( sin 1 0 ) = ( − 1 ) 3 arcsin ( sin ( 1 0 − 3 π ) ) = − ( 1 0 − 3 π ) = 3 π − 1 0 .
In general, we have the formula arcsin ( sin x ) = ( − 1 ) k ( x − k π ) , where k is the floor of π x + π / 2 .
If k represents any integer then: s i n x = s i n ( ( 2 k + 1 ) π − x ) ∴ s i n − 1 [ s i n ( 1 0 ) ] = s i n − 1 [ s i n ( 3 π − 1 0 ) ] = 3 π − 1 0
I'm not familiar with this solution. It looks like trial-and-error for me. Could you please elaborate more on this?

Actually I realized that I've made a slight error that I'll change. s i n x = s i n ( ( 2 k + 1 ) π − x ) because s i n x = s i n ( π − x ) which can be observed form the graph of sinx or proved using compound angle formulae or the unit circle from which the trigonmetric functions are defined. Now let π − x = u such that: s i n ( u ) = s i n ( 2 k π + u ) which is true as the period of the function is 2 π . Substituting the value of u gives the required result.

Now I get it thanks for the clarifications :)
how do you get sin(3*pi -10) in place of sin(2k+1)? can you explain it for clarification
arcsin ( sin 1 0 )
= arcsin ( sin ( 1 0 − 2 π ) )
= arcsin ( sin ( π − ( 1 0 − 2 π ) )
= a r c s i n ( sin ( 3 π − 1 0 ) )
= 3 π − 1 0 since 2 − π ≤ 3 π − 1 0 ≤ 2 π
Is there a clearer way to proceed? It seems to me that you are just "guessing" until you find a value which satisfies (\frac{-\pi}{2} \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}).
What would be the general solution to arcsin ( sin θ ) ?
