How do you find the exact value of #sin^-1(-sqrt3/2)#? Trigonometry Trigonometric Identities and Equations Proving Identities 1 Answer Vinícius Ferraz Oct 6, 2016 #{- pi / 3, - (2 pi) / 3} + 2 pi cdot ZZ# Explanation: #sin^-1 (-sqrt 3 / 2) = x# #-sqrt 3 / 2 = sin x# #x_1 = -60º or x_2 = - 180º + 60º# if #x_i# is a solution, then #x_i + 2 k pi# are also solutions. #k in ZZ# #- pi / 3 + 2 k pi# or #- pi + pi / 3 + 2 k pi# Answer link Related questions What does it mean to prove a trigonometric identity?
