Lesson Plan: Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Class: Plus Two (Kerala State Syllabus)


Subject: Mathematics
Topic: Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Time: 50–60 minutes

Learning Objectives
1 Understand the concept of inverse trigonometric functions.
2 Identify principal values of inverse trigonometric functions.
3 Learn the domains and ranges of inverse trigonometric functions.
4 Represent inverse trigonometric functions graphically.
5 Simplify expressions involving inverse trigonometric functions.
6 Solve simple problems based on inverse trigonometric functions.

Process / Teaching Steps


1. Introduction (5 min): Begin by asking: "If sin 30° = 1/2, how can we express the angle when
given the value 1/2?" Lead students to the idea of inverse trigonometric functions.

2. Concept and Definition (10 min): Explain that inverse trigonometric functions give angles when
trigonometric ratios are known. Introduce notation: sin■¹x, cos■¹x, tan■¹x etc. Discuss why we
need principal values to make them functions.

3. Domains and Ranges (10 min): Explain domains and ranges of sin■¹x, cos■¹x, tan■¹x, cot■¹x,
sec■¹x, csc■¹x. Make a table showing each function with its domain and principal range.

4. Graphical Representation (10 min): Plot graphs of sin x and sin■¹x to show reflection about y =
x. Explain similar behavior for cos and tan.

5. Practice (10–15 min): Students solve problems: 1) Find sin■¹(1/2), cos■¹(√3/2). 2) Simplify
sin■¹x + cos■¹x. 3) Evaluate tan■¹1 + tan■¹2.

Assessment
1 Formative: Ask students to identify domain/range of given inverse trig functions.
2 Summative: Evaluate practice problems done in class.

Homework / Assignment
1 Write the domain and range of all six inverse trigonometric functions.
2 Draw the graphs of sin■¹x, cos■¹x, tan■¹x.
3 Simplify cos■¹x + sin■¹x and tan■¹x + cot■¹x.
4 Solve NCERT exercises for Inverse Trigonometric Functions – Q1, Q2, Q3.

Conclusion
Inverse trigonometric functions help us determine angles from known trigonometric values. They
have restricted domains and ranges to make them functions. Understanding their properties and
graphs is essential for solving advanced problems in calculus and integration.
