    Study Notes

    PreCalculus Course Outcome 4: Lesson 1 - Inverse Trigonometric Functions

    • Inverse functions are defined for one-to-one functions. Trigonometric functions aren't one-to-one, but their domains can be restricted to create one-to-one functions.

    Inverse Trigonometric Functions

    • If f(x) is one-to-one with domain A and range B, then its inverse f-1 has domain B and range A, defined by f-1(x) → f(y) = x

    Inverse Trigonometric Functions

    • In order for a function to have an inverse, it must be one-to-one. Trigonometric functions are not one-to-one, so they do not have inverses. However, it is possible to restrict trigonometric functions' domains to make them one-to-one.

    Inverse Sine Function and its Graph

    • y = sin-1 x if and only if x = sin y, where -1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and -π/2 ≤ y ≤ π/2.
    • Domain: [-1, 1]
    • Range: [-π/2, π/2]

    Inverse Cosine Function and its Graph

    • y = cos-1 x if and only if x = cos y, where -1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤ π.
    • Domain: [-1, 1]
    • Range: [0, π]

    Inverse Tangent Function and its Graph

    • y = tan-1 x if and only if x = tan y, where -∞ < x < ∞ and -π/2 < y < π/2.
    • Domain: (-∞, ∞)
    • Range: (-π/2, π/2)

    Inverse Cotangent Function and its Graph

    • y = cot-1 x if and only if x = cot y, where -∞ < x < ∞ and 0 < y < π.
    • Domain: (-∞, ∞)
    • Range: (0, π)

    Inverse Secant Function and its Graph

    • y = sec-1 x if and only if x = sec y, where x ≤ -1 or x ≥ 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤ π, y ≠ π/2.
    • Domain: (-∞, -1] ∪ [1, ∞)
    • Range: [0, π/2) ∪ (π/2, π]

    Inverse Cosecant Function and its Graph

    • y = csc-1 x if and only if x = csc y, where x ≤ -1 or x ≥ 1 and -π/2 ≤ y ≤ π/2, y ≠ 0.
    • Domain: (-∞, -1] ∪ [1, ∞)
    • Range: [-π/2, 0) ∪ (0, π/2]

    Domain and Range of Inverse Functions

    • A table showing the domain and range of the inverse trigonometric functions.

    Evaluating Inverse Trigonometric Functions

    • When evaluating inverse trigonometric functions, look for the angle whose trigonometric function equals the given value. The angle must be in the range of the inverse function.

    Evaluating Inverse Trigonometric Functions (Special Angles)

    • Using a unit circle to help determine the correct angle. Includes diagrams of unit circles.

    • Applying inverse properties to evaluate expressions.

    Examples (ALEKS)

    • Solved examples of inverse trigonometric function problems using specific input values.
