Chapter 0, Problem 51

(choose chapter or problem)

Most scientific calculators have keys for the values of only \(\sin ^{-1} x, \cos ^{-1} x\), and \(\tan ^{-1} x\). The formulas in Exercise 50 show how a calculator can be used to obtain values of \(\cot ^{-1} x, \sec ^{-1} x\), and \(\csc ^{-1} x\) for positive values of \(x\). Use these formulas and a calculator to find numerical values for each of the following inverse trigonometric functions. Express your answers in degrees, rounded to the nearest tenth of a degree.

(a) \(\cot ^{-1} 0.7\)

(b) \(\sec ^{-1} 1.2\)

(c) \(\csc ^{-1} 2.3\)
