1.7 Inverse Trig Functions Sin,cos,tan
The goal is to find, define and graph the inverse trig functions. An inverse function undoes another function. For example y = x2 and y = √x Are inverses because they “undo” each other. For our trig inverse functions were are going to put in values and get out angles.
We choose the portion of y= cos(x) from x = 0 to x = π. We now reflect every point on this portion of the cos x curve through the line y = x.
Inverse Cos or arccos Dom: [-1,1] Range: [0, π]
we reflect the indicated portion of y = sin x through the line y = x, we obtain the graph of y = arcsin x:
Inverse Sin or arcsin We are now putting In values and Getting out Angles. We always Restrict the inverse Graphs. Dom [-1,1] Range [-π/2, π/2]
Reflecting this portion of the graph in the line y = x, we obtain the graph of y = arctan x The domain of arctan x is All values of x The range for arctan x is -π/2 ≤ arctan x ≤ π/2
arctan is the same as tan inverse or tan-1. y = tan-1x = arctan We put in values and get out angles. Ex. sin-1(√2/2) = arcsin (√2/2) = what angle has a sin value of √2/2 and is between -π/2, π/2 = π/4 Functions and their inverses undo each other arcsin(sin(x)) = x
