Find the principal values of: ^ -1 (-3)

MCQ

Find the principal values of: $\cot ^{-1}(-\sqrt{3})$

✓
$\frac{5 \pi}{6}$
B
$\frac{\pi}{3}$
C
$\frac{\pi}{2}$
D
$\frac{\pi}{4}$

✓

Answer

Correct option: A.

$\frac{5 \pi}{6}$

(a) : Let $\cot ^{-1}(-\sqrt{3})=\theta \Rightarrow \cot \theta=-\sqrt{3}=-\cot \frac{\pi}{6}$
$=\cot \left(\pi-\frac{\pi}{6}\right)=\cot \frac{5 \pi}{6} \Rightarrow \theta=\frac{5 \pi}{6} \in(0, \pi)$
$\therefore$ Principal value of $\cot ^{-1}(-\sqrt{3})$ is $\frac{5 \pi}{6}$.
