Recall that for a function to have an inverse on its entire domain, it must be a one-to-one function and pass the Horizontal Line Test. f(x) = sin x does not pass the Horizontal Line Test and must be restricted to for its inverse to be a function.

Angle whose sine is x The domain of y = arcsin x is [–1, 1]. Examples: The range of y = arcsin x is [–  /2,  /2]. (0,–1) (0,1) x x

17. Copyright © by Houghton Mifflin Company, Inc. All rights reserved. 17 Composition of Functions If –1  x  1, then sin(arcsin x) = x and if –  /2  y   /2, then arcsin(sin y) = y. If –1  x  1, then cos(arccos x) = x and if 0  y  , then arccos(cos y) = y. If x is a real number, then tan(arctan x) = x and if –  /2 < y <  /2, then arctan(tan y) = y. Inverse Properties:
