Chapter 2 – Inverse Trigonometric Functions


(Complete Notes)

Inverse trigonometric functions are the inverse operations of trigonometric functions. If sin θ = x, then θ =
sin■¹x. These functions help us find angles when the value of a trigonometric ratio is known.

1. Meaning of Inverse Trigonometric Functions


• sin■¹x (arcsin)

• cos■¹x (arccos)

• tan■¹x (arctan)

• cot■¹x

• sec■¹x

• csc■¹x

2. Domain and Range


• sin■¹x : Domain = [-1,1], Range = [-π/2 , π/2]

• cos■¹x : Domain = [-1,1], Range = [0 , π]

• tan■¹x : Domain = All real numbers, Range = (-π/2 , π/2)

• cot■¹x : Domain = All real numbers, Range = (0 , π)

3. Important Identities
• sin■¹x + cos■¹x = π/2
• tan■¹x + cot■¹x = π/2

• sec■¹x + csc■¹x = π/2

4. Properties
• sin■¹(-x) = - sin■¹x

• tan■¹(-x) = - tan■¹x

• cos■¹(-x) = π − cos■¹x

5. Standard Values
• sin■¹(1/2) = π/6

• sin■¹(√3/2) = π/3

• cos■¹(1/2) = π/3

• tan■¹(1) = π/4
6. Example Problems
• Find sin■¹(1/2) → Answer: π/6

• Find cos■¹(1/2) → Answer: π/3

• Find tan■¹(1) → Answer: π/4

7. Exam Tips
• Remember domain and range values clearly.

• Use identities to simplify expressions.

• Convert inverse trigonometric values into standard angles.

Quick Revision
• Inverse trigonometric functions give the angle for a given trigonometric value.

• sin■¹x + cos■¹x = π/2

• tan■¹x + cot■¹x = π/2
