Find the principal value of tan^(-1){...

Find the principal value of `tan^(-1){sin(-pi/2)}`

A

`(pi)/(4)`

B

`-(pi)/(4)`

C

`(3pi)/(4)`

D

`(3pi)/(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We know that sin`-(pi)/(2)=-1`
`therefore tan^(-1){sin(-pi)/(2)}=tan^(-1)(-1)=-(pi)/(2)`
