Inverse functions switch the x and y values. The inverse is NOT a function. y = arcsin x y = sin -1 x 4.7Inverse Trig Graphs
Cosine y = arccos x y = cos -1 x The inverse is NOT a function.
Tangent y = arctan x y = tan -1 x The inverse is NOT a function.
The sine of 30 0 is what? 4.7Inverse Trig Functions 1/2 Let’s go backwards. What angle has a sine of ½? When you are finding the angle you are using inverse trig functions or arc trig functions. What about co-terminal angles? ( )+360n 30 0, 150 0
Find the angle in degrees whose sine is: STEPS: Determine the quadrants (All Students Take Classes). Find the angle(s). Add on the tag. QI,II n n QI,II n n This is how we write the problem.
At what angle is the sine equal to 2? Never, because the range for sine is [-1,1].
