Objectives The Inverse Sine, Inverse Cosine, and Inverse Tangent Functions Solving for Angles in Right Triangles Evaluating Expressions Involving Inverse Trigonometric Functions

The Inverse Sine, Inverse Cosine, and Inverse Tangent Functions

The Inverse Sine, Inverse Cosine, and Inverse Tangent Functions Let's first consider the sine function. We restrict the domain of the sine function to angles  with – /2     /2. From Figure 1 we see that on this domain the sine function attains each of the values in the interval [–1, 1] exactly once and so is one-to-one. Restricted domains of the sine, cosine, and tangent functions Figure 1

The Inverse Sine, Inverse Cosine, and Inverse Tangent Functions Similarly, we restrict the domains of cosine and tangent as shown in Figure 1. On these restricted domains we can define an inverse for each of these functions. By the definition of inverse function we have

The Inverse Sine, Inverse Cosine, and Inverse Tangent Functions We summarize the domains and ranges of the inverse trigonometric functions in the following box.

Example 1 – Evaluating Inverse Trigonometric Functions Find the exact value. (a) sin–1 (b) cos–1 (c) tan–1 1 Solution: (a) The angle in the interval [– /2,  /2] whose sine is is  /3. Thus sin–1( ) =  /3. (b) The angle in the interval [0,  ] whose cosine is is 2 /3. Thus cos–1 = 2 /3. (c) The angle in the interval [– /2,  /2] whose tangent is 1 is  /4. Thus tan–1 1 =  /4.

Solving for Angles in Right Triangles

Example 3 – Finding an Angle in a Right Triangle Find the angle  in the triangle shown in Figure 2. Solution: Since  is the angle opposite the side of length 10 and the hypotenuse has length 50, we have sin  Now we can use sin–1 to find  .  = sin–1   11.5 Figure 2 sin Definition of sin–1 Calculator (in degree mode)

Evaluating Expressions Involving Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Example 7 – Composing Trigonometric Functions and Their Inverses Find cos(sin–1 ). Solution 1: Let  = sin–1 . Then  is the number in the interval [– /2,  /2] whose sine is . Let's interpret  as an angle and draw a right triangle with  as one of its acute angles, with opposite side 3 and hypotenuse 5 (see Figure 6). cos  = Figure 6

Example 7 – Solution cont’d The remaining leg of the triangle is found by the Pythagorean Theorem to be 4. From the figure we get cos(sin–1 ) = cos  = So cos(sin–1 ) = .

Example 7 – Solution Solution 2: cont’d Solution 2: It's easy to find sin(sin–1 ). In fact, by the cancellation properties of inverse functions, this value is exactly . To find cos(sin–1 ), we first write the cosine function in terms of the sine function. Let u = sin–1 . Since – /2  u   /2, cos u is positive, and we can write the following: cos u = cos2 u + sin2 u = 1 u =

Example 7 – Solution So cos(sin–1 ) = . cont’d Property of inverse functions: Calculate
