    This document provides an overview of inverse trigonometric functions. It begins by explaining how to find the inverse of a trigonometric function by switching the x and y variables and solving for y. It then discusses some key properties of inverse trig functions including their notation and graph shapes. Examples are given for finding the inverse of sin(x), cos(x), and tan(x) both graphically and algebraically. The domain and range of each inverse trig function is defined. Finally, it discusses evaluating inverse trig functions and provides examples.

    Lesson 4.7.

    Inverse Trigonometric
    Functions.
    Previously you have learned

    To find an inverse of a function, let every x


    be y and every y be x, then
    equation for y.

    solve the

    Inverse function notation f(x)


    For a function to have an inverse it has to be
    one-to-one. One x for one
    y value, and
    one y for one x value. It will pass the vertical
    and the
    horizontal line test.

    Two inverse functions on the graph reflect


    over y=x

    Sometimes you just dont have a nice or convenient


    algebraic process that will give you an inverse
    function. Many functions need a special, new rule
    for their inverse. Some examples of these functions
    are:

    FINDING INVERSE OF A TRIG FUNCTION :

    Given f(x) = sin (x)


    change f(x)

    y = sin (x)
    x = sin (y)
    y = arcsin (x)

    for y

    switch xs and ys
    solve for y

    f(x) = arcsin (x)

    write using function notation

    f(x) = sin(x)
    Inverse Trigonometric function notation:

    Inverse arcsin
    sine x

    or

    sin 1 x

    Inverse cosine
    arccos x

    or

    cos 1 x

    Inverse tangent
    arctan x

    or

    tan 1 x

    FINDING INVERSE OF A TRIG FUNCTION


    ALGEBRAICALLY :

    Given y = sin (x)


    - = sin ( -/6)
    (-/6) = sin (- )

    values
    (-/6) = arcsin ( - )
    (-/6) = sin( - )
    /6)

    sin (-/6) = -
    switch x and y
    solve for y
    sin( - ) = (-

    How does this look on the graph ??

    Graphing Inverse Trigonometric


    functions:

    The graph of y = sin x

    D: all reals

    R: [-1,1]

    Period: 2

    Y-int.(0,0)

    - this function is not one-to-one ( different x values yield the


    same y)
    - with domain restricted to [-/2 ; /2] y = sin x is one-to
    one
    - therefore, we can use this piece to finds its inverse

    Using the domain restricted to [-/2 ; /2] lets graph y


    = arcsin x
    Remember that y = arcsin x
    is equivalent to
    X y=x
    sin
    y-values of sin x
    y=
    arcsin x
    x values of sin

    ARCCOSINE

    Select interval of the cosine that will
    be one-to-one
    Sketch the graph of arccosine

    The chosen section for the cosine is in the red frame.


    This section includes all outputs from 1 to 1 and all
    inputs in the first and second quadrants.
    Since the domain and range for the section
    are the domain and range for the inverse
    cosine are

    have so far. Remember, the angle is the input for a trig
    function and the ratio is the output. For the inverse trig
    functions the ratio is the input and the angle is the
    output.
