Chapter 5: Trigonometric Functions Lessons 3, 5, 6: Inverse Cosine, Inverse Sine, and Inverse Tangent functions Mrs. Parziale
Graph y = cos (x). Notice that since it fails the HLT, its inverse is not a function. Restrict it so that the section contains the entire range (-1 to 1) and passes the HLT.
When restricting the domain, the following qualifications must be met: 1. Must include the values from 0 degrees to 90 degrees (to represent all acute angles that are possible in a right triangle.) 2. Must include the entire range of the cosine graph from -1 to Make the function continuous (no breaks), if possible.
Plot the Inverse Function Find the domain and range of each. Domain:Domain: Range:Range:

Graph y = sin (x). Notice it fails the HLT, so the inverse is not a function. Restrict it so that the section contains the entire range (-1 to 1), and passes HLT.
When restricting the domain, the following qualifications must be met: 1. Must include the values from 0 degrees to 90 degrees (to represent all acute angles that are possible in a right triangle.) 2. Must include the entire range of the sine graph from -1 to Make the function continuous (no breaks), if possible.

Graph y = tan (x). Does this function pass the HLT? How do we restrict the tangent function so that the inverse is also a function and the entire range is contained (as the domain) in the new function?
When restricting the domain, the following qualifications must be met: 1. Must include the values from 0 degrees to 90 degrees (to represent all acute angles that are possible in a right triangle.) 2. Must include the entire range of the tangent graph. (all reals) 3. Make the function continuous (no breaks), if possible.
