Question

Find the exact value of each expression, if it is defined. (If an answer is undefined, enter UNDEFINED.)

  1. (a) cos^{-1} 22
  2. (b) cos^{-1}(1)
  3. (c) cos^{-1} -22

Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to evaluate three expressions involving the arccosine function (cos1\cos^{-1}). We will analyze each expression:

  • (a) cos1(22)\cos^{-1}(22)
  • (b) cos1(1)\cos^{-1}(1)
  • (c) cos1(22)\cos^{-1}(-22)

2. Relevant Concepts

The range of the arccosine function is defined for inputs in the interval [1,1][-1, 1]. Any value outside this range will be considered undefined.

3. Analysis and Detail

  1. For (a) cos1(22)\cos^{-1}(22):

    • Since 2222 is greater than 11, this expression is undefined.
  2. For (b) cos1(1)\cos^{-1}(1):

    • cos(0)=1\cos(0) = 1 implies cos1(1)=0\cos^{-1}(1) = 0.
  3. For (c) cos1(22)\cos^{-1}(-22):

    • Since 22-22 is less than 1-1, this expression is also undefined.

4. Verify and Summarize

  • The expressions for (a) and (c) have values that fall outside the arccos function's defined range. Only (b) yields a valid result.

Final Answer

(a) UNDEFINED
(b) 0
(c) UNDEFINED
