Question
Find the exact value of each expression, if it is defined. (If an answer is undefined, enter UNDEFINED.)
- (a)
cos^{-1} 22
- (b)
cos^{-1}(1)
- (c)
cos^{-1} -22
Solution
1. Break Down the Problem
We need to evaluate three expressions involving the arccosine function (). We will analyze each expression:
- (a)
- (b)
- (c)
2. Relevant Concepts
The range of the arccosine function is defined for inputs in the interval . Any value outside this range will be considered undefined.
3. Analysis and Detail
-
For (a) :
- Since is greater than , this expression is undefined.
-
For (b) :
- implies .
-
For (c) :
- Since is less than , 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
