**Question 44:**

The value of \(\cos^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\) is:

- [ ] \(\frac{3\pi}{4}\)
- [ ] \(-\frac{3\pi}{4}\)
- [ ] \(-\frac{\pi}{4}\)
- [ ] \(\frac{\pi}{4}\)

**Explanation:**
This question asks for the angle whose cosine is \(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\). The answer choices are presented in radians, and the correct option corresponds to the angle in the standard trigonometric range for inverse cosine, which is \([0, \pi]\).
