The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \( \tan^{-1}(\tan(7\pi/6)) + \cos^{-1}(\cos(7\pi/6)) \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Analyze the angles The angle \( 7\pi/6 \) is in the third quadrant. We need to find the equivalent angles that lie within the principal ranges of the inverse functions. ### Step 2: Find the equivalent angle for \( \tan^{-1}(\tan(7\pi/6)) \) The function \( \tan^{-1}(x) \) has a range of \( (-\pi/2, \pi/2) \). Since \( 7\pi/6 \) is greater than \( \pi/2 \), we can express it as: \[ 7\pi/6 = \pi + \pi/6 \] Thus, we can write: \[ \tan(7\pi/6) = \tan(\pi + \pi/6) = \tan(\pi/6) \] So, we have: \[ \tan^{-1}(\tan(7\pi/6)) = \tan^{-1}(\tan(\pi/6)) = \pi/6 \] ### Step 3: Find the equivalent angle for \( \cos^{-1}(\cos(7\pi/6)) \) The function \( \cos^{-1}(x) \) has a range of \( [0, \pi] \). Since \( 7\pi/6 \) is greater than \( \pi \), we can express it as: \[ 7\pi/6 = \pi + \pi/6 \] Thus, we can write: \[ \cos(7\pi/6) = \cos(\pi + \pi/6) = -\cos(\pi/6) \] So, we have: \[ \cos^{-1}(\cos(7\pi/6)) = \cos^{-1}(-\cos(\pi/6)) \] Using the property of the cosine function, we know: \[ \cos^{-1}(-x) = \pi - \cos^{-1}(x) \] Thus: \[ \cos^{-1}(-\cos(\pi/6)) = \pi - \cos^{-1}(\cos(\pi/6)) = \pi - \pi/6 = 5\pi/6 \] ### Step 4: Combine the results Now we can combine the results from Step 2 and Step 3: \[ \tan^{-1}(\tan(7\pi/6)) + \cos^{-1}(\cos(7\pi/6)) = \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{5\pi}{6} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{5\pi}{6} = \frac{6\pi}{6} = \pi \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( \tan^{-1}(\tan(7\pi/6)) + \cos^{-1}(\cos(7\pi/6)) \) is: \[ \boxed{\pi} \]
