Homework Statement

Find the value of sin inverse (2 ) ?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

This was a question in my final exam & i had no clue about it

 

[rohanprabhu]

is it a real value? what is the domain of the ArcSin function?

 

[mkbh_10]

No extra information was given

 

[Gib Z]

Suppose such a value, k, exists, so that \arcsin 2 = k. Then taking sines of both sides, sin (k) = 2. However, the sine function is bounded between -1 and 1 for all real numbers. Hence there is no real solution.

… hyperbolic sines … !

Hi mkbh_10! Hope you passed!

Hint: cosh ix = cosx, and sinh ix = isinx.

(that's why sinh is called the hyperbolic sin!)

So sin(x + iy) = sinx cos iy + cosx sin iy = sinx coshy - i cosx sinhy;

so you needed cosx = 0, and … ?

But there is no hyperbolic sine function in the question ?

I am studying in DU (Delhi University ) so results will only be out in mid July . I will definitely pass but i want top marks which i will not be getting in this paper coz of my silly mistakes .

What course is this for? That's important. If you are studying complex numbers in the course, then there is a solution, if not, there is no solution.

And just because there is no "hyperbolic sine" in the problem doesn't mean you can't use one to solve it.

i have not found it anywhere in my course , that's why i am asking , i didn't study this type of question neither did our teacher taught nor does the book has this type of questions

That's really unfair!

(even if you've done things like log(-1) and log(i), sin(ix) isn't obvious, and should have been pointed out to you, IMO)

(Check the official syllabus, to see if it's on it … if it's not, complain about the exam … if it is, check with your fellow students, and make a joint request for credit for that question … will your student union help you with that?)

(btw, sin (π/2 - isinh^(-1)2) = 2)

this is india, nothing happens at student level , & there are 30-40 clgs in DU that have this course & who knows what teacher teaches in a particular topic
