Help Solving Precalculus Homework Problems

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around solving specific precalculus problems, particularly involving inverse trigonometric functions. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the domains of these functions, noting that arcsin(√3 / 2) is valid since √3/2 is within the acceptable range of -1 to 1. There is a suggestion for the user to share their attempts at solving the problems for more targeted assistance. The conversation also touches on the relationship between angles and shadow lengths, indicating a practical application of trigonometric concepts. Overall, the focus is on providing guidance for solving the listed precalculus problems effectively.

I need help with how to solve these problems on my homework. If you don't know how to do them all then just write the number of the one you know. Thanks so much.

1. arcsin(√3 / 2)=
2. sin^-1(- √2 / 2)=
3. arcos(- 1/2)=
4. tan^-1(√3 / 3)=
5. sin(arctan 3/ 4)=
6. If the sun is 30degrees above the horizon, find the length of a shadow cast by a silo that is 60 feet tall.

Hi doodlebug003! Welcome to PF! :wink:

Show us what you've tried, and where you're stuck, and then we'll know how to help.

Start with 1. and 2. :smile:
 
1. arcsin(√3 / 2)=

there is no arcsine for number 1. Domain of arc sine -1,1

:smile: :smile: :smile:

get some sleep! :zzz:​

Since 3< 4, \sqrt{3}&lt; 2 and \sqrt{3}/2&lt; 1.
