Inverse Trigonometric
Functions
Inverse trigonometric functions, as a topic of learning, are
closely related to the basic trigonometric functions. The
domain and the range of the trigonometric functions are
converted to the range and domain of the inverse
trigonometric functions. In trigonometry, we learn about the
relationships between angles and sides in a right-angled
triangle. Similarly, we have inverse trigonometry functions.
The basic trigonometric functions are Sin, Cos, Tan, Cosec,
Sec, and Cot. The inverse trigonometric functions on the
other hand are denoted as Sin-1x, Cos-1x, Cot-1 x, Tan-1 x,
Cosec-1 x, and Sec-1 x.
Inverse trigonometric functions have all the formulas of the
basic trigonometric functions, which include the sum of
functions, double and triple of a function. Here we shall try to
understand the transformation of the trigonometric formulas
to inverse trigonometric formulas.
Inverse Trigonometric Function For
Arbitrary Values
The inverse trigonometric function formula for arbitrary
values is applicable for all the six trigonometric functions.
For the inverse trigonometric functions of sine,
tangent, cosecant, the negative of the values are translated
as the negatives of the function. And for functions of
cosine, secant, cotangent, the negatives of the domain are
translated as the subtraction of the function from the π
value.
Inverse Trigonometric Function Graph
We can plot the graphs of different inverse trigonometric
functions with their range of principal values. Here, we have
chosen random values for x in the domain of respective
inverse trigonometric functions. We will understand the
domain and range of these functions in the following
sections.
