Answer

(a) $\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}$, $(\frac{\pi}{4},\frac{\sqrt 2}{2})$ (b) $(\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}, \frac{\pi}{4})$ (c) $(\frac{\pi}{4}, -2)$

Work Step by Step

(a) Given $f(x)=sin(x)$, we have $f(\frac{\pi}{4})=sin(\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}$ and point $(\frac{\pi}{4},\frac{\sqrt 2}{2})$ (b) Considering that $f^{-1}$ and $f$ have a symmetry with respect to $y=x$, we can find point $(\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}, \frac{\pi}{4})$ on $f^{-1}$. (c) Evaluate the function to get $y=sin(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{4})-3=-2$, thus the point is $(\frac{\pi}{4}, -2)$
