Here, you can see that the sine function y = sin x is not one-to-one. –Use the Horizontal Line Test. INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

However, here, you can see that the function f(x) = sin x,, is one-to-one. INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

As the definition of an inverse function states that we have: Thus, if -1 ≤ x ≤ 1, sin -1 x is the number between and whose sine is x. INVERSE SINE FUNCTIONSEquation 1

We have: –This is because, and lies between and. Example 1 aINVERSE SINE FUNCTIONS

Let, so. –Then, we can draw a right triangle with angle θ. –So, we deduce from the Pythagorean Theorem that the third side has length. Example 1 bINVERSE SINE FUNCTIONS
10
–This enables us to read from the triangle that: INVERSE SINE FUNCTIONSExample 1b
11
In this case, the cancellation equations for inverse functions become: INVERSE SINE FUNCTIONSEquations 2
12
The graph is obtained from that of the restricted sine function by reflection about the line y = x. INVERSE SINE FUNCTIONS
13
We know that: –The sine function f is continuous, so the inverse sine function is also continuous. –The sine function is differentiable, so the inverse sine function is also differentiable (from Section 3.4). INVERSE SINE FUNCTIONS
14
since we know that is sin -1 differentiable, we can just as easily calculate it by implicit differentiation as follows. INVERSE SINE FUNCTIONS
15
Let y = sin -1 x. –Then, sin y = x and –π/2 ≤ y ≤ π/2. –Differentiating sin y = x implicitly with respect to x,we obtain: INVERSE SINE FUNCTIONS
16
Now, cos y ≥ 0 since –π/2 ≤ y ≤ π/2, so INVERSE SINE FUNCTIONSFormula 3
17
If f(x) = sin -1 (x 2 – 1), find: (a) the domain of f. (b) f ’(x). INVERSE SINE FUNCTIONSExample 2
18
Since the domain of the inverse sine function is [-1, 1], the domain of f is: INVERSE SINE FUNCTIONSExample 2 a
19
Combining Formula 3 with the Chain Rule, we have: Example 2 bINVERSE SINE FUNCTIONS
20
The inverse cosine function is handled similarly. –The restricted cosine function f(x) = cos x, 0 ≤ x ≤ π, is one-to-one. –So, it has an inverse function denoted by cos -1 or arccos. INVERSE COSINE FUNCTIONSEquation 4
21
The cancellation equations are: INVERSE COSINE FUNCTIONSEquation 5
22
The inverse cosine function,cos -1, has domain [-1, 1] and range, and is a continuous function. INVERSE COSINE FUNCTIONS
23
Its derivative is given by: –The formula can be proved by the same method as for Formula 3. INVERSE COSINE FUNCTIONSFormula 6
24
The inverse tangent function, tan -1 = arctan, has domain and range. INVERSE TANGENT FUNCTIONS
25
We know that: –So, the lines are vertical asymptotes of the graph of tan. INVERSE TANGENT FUNCTIONS
26
The graph of tan -1 is obtained by reflecting the graph of the restricted tangent function about the line y = x. –It follows that the lines y = π/2 and y = -π/2 are horizontal asymptotes of the graph of tan -1. INVERSE TANGENT FUNCTIONS
27
Inverse Trig. Functions None of the 6 basic trig. functions has an inverse unless you restrict their domains.
