To find inverse trig functions

4. Solve 11. cot 𝑥 2 = 3 0<𝜃<2𝜋 tan 𝑥 2 = 3 3 𝑥 2 = 𝜋 6 +𝜋𝑛 𝑥= 𝜋 3

6. Consider graph of y = sin x
Recall from Ch 4 that an inverse function must be a one-to-one function.
1-1 function: Passes vertical line test AND
horizontal line test.
Is the sine function 1-1?
NO!!

7. Inverse of y = sin x So the sine function does not have an inverse.
But, what if we restricted the domain?
To get an inverse function, we must restrict the domain of the sine function to the interval − 𝜋 2 ≤𝑥≤ 𝜋 2
Now, an inverse function exists! 
