#sin(sin^-1(1/3))# #=# #1/3#

Explanation:

You can just use B.E.D.M.A.S to evaluate this equation, by doing #sin^-1(1/3)#, you get #~~19.47#.
Then take the #sin# of #19.47# which ultimately gives you the same thing back. #1/3#

#1/3#

Explanation:

#1/x*x=1#

#x-x=0#

#sqrt(x^2)=x#

#10^(logx)=x#

All of these are examples of functions and identities that undo one another. Another example of similar functions are #sin# and #sin^-1#.

#sin(sin^-1(x))=x#

#sin(sin^-1(1/3))=1/3#
