Q. The following are all angle measures (in degrees, rounded to the nearest tenth) whose sine is 0.36 .Which is the principal value of arcsin(0.36) ?Choose 1 answer:(A) 21.1∘(B) 381.1∘(C) 741.1∘(D) 1101.1∘
Understand principal value concept: Understand the concept of the principal value for the arcsine function.The principal value of arcsin(x) is the value of the angle in the range from −90∘ to 90∘ whose sine is x. Since 0.36 is positive, the principal value will be in the first quadrant, between 0∘ and 90∘.
Use calculator for arcsin(0.36): Use a calculator to find the principal value of arcsin(0.36). By inputting the value into a calculator, we can find the principal value of arcsin(0.36). Make sure the calculator is set to degree mode.
Verify calculator's result: Verify the calculator's result.After calculating, we find that the principal value of arcsin(0.36) is approximately 21.1 degrees. This is within the expected range for the principal value.
Compare with given options: Compare the result with the given options.The calculated value of approximately 21.1 degrees matches option (A). Options (B), (C), and (D) are not within the range of −90∘ to 90∘, so they cannot be principal values of arcsin(0.36).
