This document discusses inverse trigonometric functions. It defines the domain and range of inverse trig functions and how to evaluate inverse trig expressions. It explains that restricting the domain of trig functions allows the definition of inverse functions. The inverses are derived by interchanging θ and y and are written as Arccos, Arcsin, etc. It provides examples of finding principal values of inverse trig functions and calculator values.

Inverse Trigonometric Functions


It has been mentioned in the previou

The inverse function of y = Cos θ and
solving for y in terms of θ.
y = Cos θ
θ = Cos y
y = Arccos θ
The equation y = Arccos θ means θ = Co
The equation y = Arcsin θ means θ = Si
An alternative way of witing y = Arcc
is y = Sin θ.
