  1. 4.7 Inverse Trigonometric Functions *Intro to Inverse Functions *One-to-one *Inverse of Sine

  2. Inverse Functions • f-1 (x) is the inverse of f(x) • If and only if the domain of f(x) is equal to the range of f-1(x) AND the range of f(x) is equal to the domain of f-1(x) • In English the x and y’s switch • Example f(x)= f-1(x)=

  3. Do all functions have inverses? • Linear Functions • Quadratic Functions

  4. Cubic Functions • Absolute Value

  5. One-to-One • A function must be one-to-one to have an inverse • One-to-one: there is only one x for each y • Horizontal Line Test • Solve for y • You can write a restriction on the domain to make a function one-to-one

  6. Trig Functions – Sine Is y = sinx one-to-one??

  7. Inverse of Sine • f(x) = sinx has an inverse over the interval [-p/2,p/2] • sin x is increasing over the interval • takes on the full range values -1 < y < 1 • sine is one-to-one

  8. Inverse of Sine • Inverse of sine is called: • inverse sine: sin-1 • arcsine: arcsin • the angle (or arc) whose sine is x • Sine: input = angle, output = ratio of the sides • Arcsine: input = ratio of sides, output = angle

  9. Common Mistake • Don’t be FOOLED!!! • sin-1 is not the same as 1/sin

  10. Arcsine • Definition: • The inverse sine function is defined by: y = arcsiniffsiny = x where -1 < x < 1 and –p/2 < y <p/2 • y = arcsin Domain: [-1,1] Range: [–p/2, p/2]

  11. Evaluating the Inverse Sine Function • If possible, find the exact value. • arcsin(-1/2) • sin-1(√3/2) • sin-12

  12. Graph Arcsine by Hand y = sin x y = arcsin x
