Find the exact value of sin^-1(-sqrt3/2).
a.2sin(4t)cos(2t)
b.2cos(4t)sin(2t)
c.2cos(4t)cos(2t)
d.2sin(4t)sin(2t)
----------
You want the angle whose sine is (-sqrt3)/2
Draw the angle:
y=-sqrt3
r= 2
--------
That angle is in the 4th quadrant.
The reference angle is 60 degrees.
That is the angle theta= 300 or theta = -60 degrees in the 4th Quadrant.
