4.7 INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS
For an inverse to exist the function MUST be one- to - one
• A function is one-to-one if for every x there is exactly one y and for every y there is exactly one x.
• So• If x and/or y is raised
to an even power then the inverse does not exist unless the domain is restricted.
• The equation y = x2
• does not have an inverse because two different x values will produce the same y-value.
• i.e. x = 2 and x = -2 will produce y = 4.
• The horizontal line test fails.
• In order to restrict the domain, a basic knowledge of the shape of the graph is crucial. This is a parabola with (0,0) as the vertex. Restrict the domain to the interval [0,infinity) to make it one-to-one.
Now let’s look at the trig functions

y = sin x y = cos x

For the graph of y = sin x, the Domain is (-∞, ∞) the Range is [-1, 1]
Not a 1-1 functionSo it currently does not have an inverse
x
y
However we can restrict the domain to [- Note the range will remain [-1, 1]
Now it’s 1-1!

y y = sinx
The inverse of sinx

Is denoted as arcsinx

On the unit circle:

For the inverse sine function with angles only from -toour answers will only be in either quadrant 1 for positive values and quadrant 4 for negative values.
Find the exact value, if possible,

y = cos x is not one to one, so its domain will also need to be restricted.
y = cos x is not one to one, so its domain will also need to be restricted.
x
y
On this interval, [0, ] the cosine function is one-to-one and we can now define the inverse cosine function.y = arccos x or y = cos-1 x
y = arccos x
y = cos x
On the unit circle ,inverse cosine will only exist in quadrant 1 if the value is positive and quadrant 2 if the value is negative.
