13-4 Inverses of Trigonometric Functions
You have evaluated trigonometric functions for a given angle. You can also find the measure of angles given the value of a trigonometric function by using an inverse trigonometric relation.

The expression sin-1 is read as “the inverse sine.” In this notation,-1 indicates the inverse of the sine function, NOT the reciprocal of the sine function.

The inverses of the trigonometric
functions are not functions
themselves because there are
many values of θ for a particular
value of a. For example, suppose
that you want to find cos-1 .
Based on the unit circle, angles
that measure and radians
have a cosine of . So do all
angles that are coterminal with
these angles.

Because more than one value of θ produces the same output value for a given trigonometric function, it is necessary to restrict the domain of each trigonometric function in order to define the inverse trigonometric functions.

Trigonometric functions with restricted domains are indicated with a capital letter. The domains of the Sine, Cosine, and Tangent functions are restricted as follows.
Sinθ = sinθ for {θ| }
θ is restricted to Quadrants I and IV.
Cosθ = cosθ for {θ| }
θ is restricted to Quadrants I and II.
Tanθ = tanθ for {θ| }
θ is restricted to Quadrants I and IV.

These functions can be used to define the inverse trigonometric functions. For each value of a in the domain of the inverse trigonometric functions, there is only one value of θ. Therefore, even though tan-1 has many values, Tan-11 has only one value.

Example 3: Safety Application
A painter needs to lean a 30 ft ladder against a wall. Safety guidelines recommend that the distance between the base of the ladder and the wall should be of the length of the ladder. To the nearest degree, what acute angle should the ladder make with the ground?

θ7.5
Step 1 Draw a diagram. The base of the ladder should be (30) = 7.5 ft from the wall. The angle between the ladder and the ground θ is the measure of an acute angle of a right triangle.

Step 2 Find the value of θ.
Use the cosine ratio.
Substitute 7.5 for adj. and 30 for hyp. Then simplify.
The angle between the ladderand the ground should be about 76°

Example 4A: Solving Trigonometric Equations
Solve each equation to the nearest tenth. Use the given restrictions.
sin θ = 0.4, for – 90° ≤ θ ≤ 90°
The restrictions on θ are the same as those for the inverse sine function.

Example 4B: Solving Trigonometric Equations
Solve each equation to the nearest tenth. Use the given restrictions.
sin θ = 0.4, for 90° ≤ θ ≤ 270°
The terminal side of θ is restricted to Quadrants ll and lll. Since sin θ > 0, find the angle in Quadrant ll that has the same sine value as 23.6°.
θ ≈ 180° –23.6° ≈ 156.4°
θ has a reference angle of 23.6°, and 90° < θ < 180°.
