Finding Exact Values Involving Inverse Trig Functions Find the exact value of: Find the exact value of:

Solution Think of this equation as the cos (   Remember that the answer to an inverse trig question is an angle). Think of this equation as the cos (   Remember that the answer to an inverse trig question is an angle). So...  is in the 1 st quadrant and  is in the 4 th quadrant (remember range) So...  is in the 1 st quadrant and  is in the 4 th quadrant (remember range)

Writing a Trig Expression as an Algebraic Expression Write sin (sin -1 u + cos -1 v) as an algebraic expression containing u and v (without any trigonometric functions) Write sin (sin -1 u + cos -1 v) as an algebraic expression containing u and v (without any trigonometric functions) Again, remember that this is just a sum formula Again, remember that this is just a sum formula sin (  = sin  cos  + sin  cos  sin (  = sin  cos  + sin  cos 

Solution Let sin -1 u =  and cos -1 v =  Let sin -1 u =  and cos -1 v =  Then sin  u and cos  = v Then sin  u and cos  = v
