Answer

(a) $-3$ (b) $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ (c) $\frac{1}{64}$

Work Step by Step

(a) $\ln \frac{1}{e^3}=\ln e^{-3}=-3\ln e=-3\cdot 1=-3$ (b) Let $x=\tan^{-1} 1$. We have $\tan (x)=1$ and since $x\in (-\pi/2,\pi/2)$, $x=\pi/4$. So, $\sin (\tan^{-1}1)=\sin x=\sin \frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$. (c) $10^{-3\log 4}=10^{(\log 4)\cdot (-3)}=(10^{\log 4})^{-3}=4^{-3}=\frac{1}{4^3}=\frac{1}{64}$
