Find the value of $ arcsin(frac{1}{2}) $.

Answer 1

Ava Martin

To find the value of $ \arcsin(\frac{1}{2}) $, we need to determine the angle $ \theta $ whose sine is $ \frac{1}{2} $.

From the unit circle, we know:

$ \sin(\theta) = \frac{1}{2} $

The angle $ \theta $ that satisfies this in the range $ [-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}] $ is:

$ \theta = \frac{\pi}{6} $

Thus, $ \arcsin(\frac{1}{2}) = \frac{\pi}{6} $.

To determine the value of $ arcsin(frac{1}{2}) $, use the unit circle:

$ sin( heta) = frac{1}{2} $

Within $ [-frac{pi}{2}, frac{pi}{2}] $, the angle $ heta $ is:

$ heta = frac{pi}{6} $

So, $ arcsin(frac{1}{2}) = frac{pi}{6} $.
