Summary

Given

\(x \in \mathbb{R}\)

Claim

\(\displaystyle \sin\left(\left|\arcsin x\right|\right) \overset{?}{=} \left|\cos\left(\arccos x\right)\right|\)

Expected

contingent true at \(x = 0\); false at \(x = 2\)

equal at some admissible points, different at others

witness (true): \(x = 0\)

witness (false): \(x = 2\)
