Transcript text: Solve this sine function.
\[
\sin ^{-1}\left(\sin 60^{\circ}\right)=?
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the given sine function, we need to understand the properties of the inverse sine function (arcsine). The arcsine function, \(\sin^{-1}(x)\), returns the angle whose sine is \(x\). Since \(60^\circ\) is within the range of the sine function, we can directly use the value.
Solution Approach
Convert \(60^\circ\) to radians because the sine function in Python uses radians.
Use the sine function to find the sine of \(60^\circ\).
Use the arcsine function to find the angle whose sine is the result from the previous step.
Step 1: Convert Degrees to Radians
To work with the sine function, we first convert \(60^\circ\) to radians:
\[
\text{angle\_in\_radians} = \frac{\pi}{3} \approx 1.0472
\]
Step 2: Calculate the Sine Value
Next, we calculate the sine of \(60^\circ\):
\[
\sin(60^\circ) = \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 0.8660
\]
Step 3: Calculate the Arcsine
Now, we find the angle whose sine is \(0.8660\):
\[
\sin^{-1}(0.8660) \approx 59.9999^\circ
\]
Final Answer
Thus, the value of \(\sin^{-1}(\sin 60^\circ)\) is
\[
\boxed{60^\circ}
\]
