Question
### Finding Angles for Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Find each of the following for \( y \) in radians.

**Problem 28:**
\[ y = \arcsin \left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) \]

**Problem 29:**
\[ y = \cos^{-1} \left( -\frac{1}{2} \right) \]

**Problem 30:**
\[ y = \arctan(-1) \]

### Explanation:

These problems involve finding the angle \( y \) in radians that satisfies the given inverse trigonometric function:

1. **Problem 28**: We need to find the angle \( y \) such that \( \sin(y) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \). This corresponds to an angle in the first or second quadrant where the sine value is \( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \).
   
2. **Problem 29**: Here, we seek the angle \( y \) such that \( \cos(y) = -\frac{1}{2} \). This corresponds to an angle in the second or third quadrant where the cosine value is \( -\frac{1}{2} \).

3. **Problem 30**: We need to identify the angle \( y \) such that \( \tan(y) = -1 \). This corresponds to an angle in the second or fourth quadrant where the tangent value is \( -1 \).

These problems are important for understanding how to work with inverse trigonometric functions and converting values of sine, cosine, and tangent back into angle measures.
