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
