Inverse Trigonometry ⚫Introduction ⚪ The inverse of a function f: A → B exists if f is one -one onto i.e. a bijection and is given by f(x) = y ⇒ f -1 (y) =x . ⚪ Consider the sine function with domain R and range [-1,1]. Clearly this function is not a bijection and so it is not invertible. If we restrict the domain of it in such a way that it becomes one-one , then it would become invertible. If we consider sine as a function with domain [-π/2, π/2 ] and co-domain [-1,1] , then it is a bijection and therefore , invertible. The inverse of sine function is defined as sin -1 x = θ where θ → [-π/2, π/2 ] and x → [-1,1] ⚫ Domain and range of trigonometry function ⚫ Basic Formula of Inverse Trigonometry : sin -1 (-x) = -sin -1 x cos -1 (-x) = π -cos -1 x tan -1 (-x) = -tan -1 x cot -1 (-x) = π -cot -1 x sec -1 (-x) = π -sec -1 x cosec -1 (-x) = -cosec -...
