Q1. The function g: [-a,a] --> R, g(x) = sin(2(x-pi/6)) has an inverse function. The maximum possible value is a is:_____.
Solution:
x - sin(2(y-pi/6))
sin^-1x = 2(y-pi/6)
y - pi/6 = 1/2 sin^-1x
y = 1/2sin^-1x + pi/6
g^-1(x) = 1/2sin^-1x + pi/6
Maximum value of a will be when is sin^-1x is pi/2
Thus, a = ...
