What could we restrict the domain to so that the sine function does have an inverse? 1 -1
Inverse Sine, , arcsine (x) • Function is increasing • Takes on full range of values • Function is 1-1 • Domain: • Range:
Evaluate: arcSin • Asking the sine of what angle is
Find the following: • ArcSin • ArcSin
Inverse Cosine Function • What can we restrict the domain of the cosine curve to so that it is 1-1? 1 -1
Inverse Cosine, , arcCos (x) • Function is increasing • Takes on full range of values • Function is 1-1 • Domain: • Range:
Evaluate: ArcCos (-1) • The Cosine of what angle is -1?
Evaluate the following: • ArcCos
ArcTan (x) • Similar to the ArcSin (x) • Domain of Tan Function: • Range of Tan Function:
arcCos (0.28) • Is the value 0.28 on either triangle or curve? • Use your calculator:
Use an inverse trig function to write θ as a function of x. 2x θ x + 3
Find the exact value of the expression. Sin [ ArcCos ]
So far we have: • Restricted the domain of trig functions to find their inverse • Evaluated inverse trig functions for exact values • Found missing coordinates on the graphs of inverses • Found the exact values of compositions
Composition of Functions • Evaluate innermost function first • Substitute in that value • Evaluate outermost function
Sin (arcCos ) Evaluate the innermost function first: arcCos ½ = Substitute that value in original problem
How do we evaluate this? Let θ equal what is in parentheses
13 12 θ 5
13 12 How do we evaluate this? θ 5 Let θ equal what is in parentheses Use the triangle to answer the question
What is different about this problem? Is 0.2 in the domain of the arcSin?
