Evaluate: ⁻¹ ( 35 18 )- ⁻¹ ( 35 18 )
Options
- A9
- B0
- C18
Correct answer
A. 9
Step-by-step solution
The expression is ⁻¹ ( 35 18 )- ⁻¹ ( 35 18 ) . First, simplify the argument 35 18 as 2 - 18 . For the cosine term: ⁻¹ ( (2 - 18 ) ) = ⁻¹ ( 18 ) = 18 , since 18 [0, ] . For the sine term: ⁻¹ ( (2 - 18 ) ) = ⁻¹ ( (- 18 ) ) = - 18 , since - 18 [- 2 , 2 ] . Substituting these values back into the expression: 18 - (- 18 ) = 18 + 18 = 2 18 = 9 . Answer: 9
