The graph of the function f(x) = sin(x) is not one-to-one
The restricted graph of the function f(x) = sin(x) is one-to- one
and thus has in inverse function What is the domain? What is the range?
The graph of the function f(x) = cos(x) is not one-to-one
The restricted graph of the function f(x) = cos(x) is one-to- one
and thus has in inverse function What is the domain? What is the range?
The graph of the function f(x) = tan(x) is not one-to-one
The restricted graph of the function f(x) = tan(x) is one- to-one
and thus has in inverse function What is the domain? What is the range?
