Inverse Trigonometric Functions
(i) Now, we will investigate inverse of trigonometric functions, or so
called inverse trigonometric functions.
(ii) The main problem is that trigonometric functions are NOT
one-to-one on their domain. However, we overcome this problem by
RESTRICTING THE DOMAIN OF THESE FUNCTIONS so that they
become one-to-one.
