  1. Sullivan Algebra and Trigonometry: Section 7.1The Inverse Sine, Cosine, and Tangent Functions • Objectives of this Section • Find the Exact Value of the Inverse Sine, Cosine, and Tangent Functions • Find the Approximate Value of the Inverse Sine, Cosine, and Tangent Functions

  2. Recall the Definition of the Inverse Function Let f denote a one-to-one function y = f (x). The inverse of f, denoted f-1, is a function such that f -1(f (x)) = x for every x in the domain f and f (f-1(x)) = x for every x in the domain of f-1. In other words, the function f maps each x in its domain to a unique y in its range. The inverse function f-1 maps each y in the range back to the x in the domain.

  3. To find the inverse of the sine function, first examine the graph to see if the function is one - to - one, using the horizontal line test. y = b -1< b < 1

  4. Since the sine function is not one - to - one for all real numbers, we must restrict the domain to an interval where the function is one - to - one. y 1 x -1

  5. The inverse sine of x

  6. To find the inverse of the cosine function, first examine the graph to see if the function is one - to - one, using the horizontal line test. y = b -1 <y< 1

  7. Since the cosine function is not one - to - one for all real numbers, we must restrict the domain to an interval where the function is one - to - one.

  8. The inverse cosine of x

  9. To find the inverse of the tangent function, first examine the graph to see if the function is one - to - one, using the horizontal line test.

  10. Since the tangent function is not one - to - one for all real numbers, we must restrict the domain to an interval where the function is one - to - one.

  11. The inverse tangent of x
