Question
If $\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{1}{3}\Big)+\cos^{-1}\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{2},$ find x.

Answer

We know that $\sin^{-1}\text{x}+\cos^{-1}\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{2}$We have
$\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{1}{3}\Big)+\cos^{-1}\text{x}=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{1}{3}\Big)=\frac{\pi}{2}-\cos^{-1}\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{1}{3}\Big)=\sin^{-1}\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{1}{3}$
