The function \(y=\sin ^{-1}(\cos x)\) is not differentiable at ____

The function \(y=\sin ^{-1}(\cos x)\) is not differentiable at ____
  1. \(\pi\) only
  2. \(2 \pi\) only
  3. \(-2 \pi\) only
  4. All options are correct

Solution

Domain for \(\sin ^{-1} x\) is, \(x \in(-1,1)\) both values -1 and 1 are excluded Now, \(\cos \pi=-1\) and \(\cos 2 \pi=1\) Also, \(\cos -2 \pi=1\) Hence, \(\sin ^{-1}(\cos x)\) is non differentiable at \(\pi, 2 \pi\) and \(-2 \pi\).
