Composition of Functions From Algebra II: If two functions, f(x) and (x), are inverses, then their compositions are: f((x)) = x and (f(x)) = x
Inverse Properties of Trig Functions • If -1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and - ≤ y ≤ , then Sin (arcSin x) = x and arcSin (Sin y) = y • If -1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤ π, then Cos (arcCosx) = x and arcCos (Cos y) = y • If x is a real number and - < y <, then Tan (arcTanx) = x and arcTan (Tan y) = y
