Answer
To sketch the graph of y=g(y)=extarcsinx, we first note that the function is defined for x in the range [−1,1]. The arcsin function is increasing and maps these values as follows:
For x=−1, g(-1) = -rac{ ext{π}}{2}.
For x=0, g(0)=0.
For x=1, g(1) = rac{ ext{π}}{2}.
Plotting these points, we can describe the curve from (-1, -rac{ ext{π}}{2}) to (1, rac{ ext{π}}{2}). Make sure to depict it as a smooth, increasing curve.
The final graph has the correct position and curvature, as required.

Answer
Start with the equation:
3g(x+1)+extπ=0
Rearranging gives:
3g(x+1)=−extπ
Therefore:
g(x + 1) = -rac{ ext{π}}{3}
Since g(x)=extarcsinx, we have:
ext{arcsin}(x + 1) = -rac{ ext{π}}{3}
Taking the sine of both sides results in:
x + 1 = ext{sin}igg(-rac{ ext{π}}{3}igg)
Using the property extsin(−θ)=−extsin(θ) leads to:
x + 1 = - ext{sin}igg(rac{ ext{π}}{3}igg)
Knowing that ext{sin}igg(rac{ ext{π}}{3}igg) = rac{ ext{√3}}{2}, we find:
