Prove that $arcsin z = frac{pi}{2} - arccos z$












1












$begingroup$


I have $arccos (z) = -iln (z + sqrt{z^2-1})$ and $arcsin (z)=-i ln(iz +sqrt{1-z^2}).$



Now I must prove, that $arcsin (z) = frac{pi}{2} - arccos (z)$.



I get:



$$arcsin (z)=-ilnleft(iz+sqrt{1-z^2}right)=-ilnleft(iz+sqrt{-1(z^2-1)}right)=-ilnleft(iz+sqrt{i^{2}(z^2-1)}right)=$$
$$=-lnleft(iz+isqrt{z^2-1}right)=-ilnleft(i(z+sqrt{z^2-1})right)=-iln -ilnleft(z+sqrt{z^2-1}right)=$$
$$=-ileft(ln|i|+ifrac{pi}{2}right)-ilnleft(z+sqrt{z^2-1}right)=frac{pi}{2}+arccos (z).$$



I don't know where I make mistake, because I have "+" not "-".

Suppose the statement is true, namely,
begin{align}
sin^{-1}(z) = frac{pi}{2} - cos^{-1}(z).
end{align}
By taking the sine of both sides leads to
begin{align}
sin(sin^{-1}(z)) &= sin(frac{pi}{2} - cos^{-1}(z)) \
z &= sin(pi/2) cos(cos^{-1}(z)) - cos(pi/2) sin(cos^{-1}(z)) \
z &= z.
end{align}
This shows the identity is true.

    lets start by defining $w to be $sin(w) = z
    now, we'll use the complex identity:



    sin(w) = z = (exp(iw)-exp(-iw))/2i


    define t = exp(iw) therefor, by applying this to the previous equation:



    z = (t - 1/t)/2i


    multiply by 2i and pass all args to the right side to get:



    t^2 - (2iz) - 1 = 0


    a standard quadratic equation:



    t = ((2iz)+sqrt((2i*z)^2 + 4))/2
    
t = i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2)


    but we defined t = exp(i*w) therfor:



    exp(iw) = i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2)


    take the log to both sides and get that:



    iw = log(i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2))
    divide by i:



    w = (1/i) * log(i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2))


    but as we first defined: sin(w) = z thenw = arcsin(z)
    in total:



    arcsin(z) = (1/i) * log(i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2))


    that proves your claim is right.

    My usual naive approach.



    From
    $arccos (z) = -iln (z + sqrt{z^2-1})
    $
    and
    $arcsin (z)=-i ln(iz +sqrt{1-z^2})
    $
    we get



    $begin{array}\
    arccos (z)+arcsin (z)
    &=-i(ln (z + sqrt{z^2-1})+ln(iz +sqrt{1-z^2}))\
    &=-i(ln ((z + sqrt{z^2-1})(iz +sqrt{1-z^2}))\
    &=-i(ln ((z + isqrt{1-z^2})(iz +sqrt{1-z^2}))\
    &=-i(ln (iz^2+zsqrt{1-z^2}(-1+1)+i(1-z^2))\
    &=-i(ln (i))\
    &=-i(dfrac{ipi}{2})\
    &=dfrac{pi}{2}\
    end{array}
    $



    Throw in a $2kpi i$
    if you want.
    That will change the answer to
    $dfrac{pi}{2}+2kpi$.

              sin(w) = z = (exp(iw)-exp(-iw))/2i


              define t = exp(iw) therefor, by applying this to the previous equation:



              z = (t - 1/t)/2i


              multiply by 2i and pass all args to the right side to get:



              t^2 - (2iz) - 1 = 0


              a standard quadratic equation:



              t = ((2iz)+sqrt((2i*z)^2 + 4))/2
              
t = i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2)


              but we defined t = exp(i*w) therfor:



              exp(iw) = i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2)


              take the log to both sides and get that:



              iw = log(i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2))
              divide by i:



              w = (1/i) * log(i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2))


              but as we first defined: sin(w) = z thenw = arcsin(z)
              in total:



              arcsin(z) = (1/i) * log(i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2))


              that proves your claim is right.

              lets start by defining $w to be $sin(w) = z
              now, we'll use the complex identity:



              sin(w) = z = (exp(iw)-exp(-iw))/2i


              define t = exp(iw) therefor, by applying this to the previous equation:



              z = (t - 1/t)/2i


              multiply by 2i and pass all args to the right side to get:



              t^2 - (2iz) - 1 = 0


              a standard quadratic equation:



              t = ((2iz)+sqrt((2i*z)^2 + 4))/2
              
t = i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2)


              but we defined t = exp(i*w) therfor:



              exp(iw) = i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2)


              take the log to both sides and get that:



              iw = log(i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2))
              divide by i:



              w = (1/i) * log(i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2))


              but as we first defined: sin(w) = z thenw = arcsin(z)
              in total:



              arcsin(z) = (1/i) * log(i*z + sqrt(1 - z^2))


              that proves your claim is right.

              My usual naive approach.



              From
              $arccos (z) = -iln (z + sqrt{z^2-1})
              $
              and
              $arcsin (z)=-i ln(iz +sqrt{1-z^2})
              $
              we get



              $begin{array}\
              arccos (z)+arcsin (z)
              &=-i(ln (z + sqrt{z^2-1})+ln(iz +sqrt{1-z^2}))\
              &=-i(ln ((z + sqrt{z^2-1})(iz +sqrt{1-z^2}))\
              &=-i(ln ((z + isqrt{1-z^2})(iz +sqrt{1-z^2}))\
              &=-i(ln (iz^2+zsqrt{1-z^2}(-1+1)+i(1-z^2))\
              &=-i(ln (i))\
              &=-i(dfrac{ipi}{2})\
              &=dfrac{pi}{2}\
              end{array}
              $



              Throw in a $2kpi i$
              if you want.
              That will change the answer to
              $dfrac{pi}{2}+2kpi$.
