What to Focus On

  • An inverse exists only for a one-one and onto function.
  • Trigonometric functions need domain restriction before defining inverses.
  • Different restrictions give different branches.

  • sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, cosec⁻¹, sec⁻¹, tan⁻¹, and cot⁻¹ each have a principal value branch.
  • cosec⁻¹ excludes 0 from its range.
  • sec⁻¹ excludes π/2 from its range.

  • Inverse composition works in both directions for one-one onto functions.
  • sin(sin⁻¹x) and sin⁻¹(sin x) are not the same identity for all values.
  • Graphs of inverse functions are mirror images along y = x.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

sin⁻¹x means 1/sin x

sin⁻¹(sin x) = x for every real x

Whenever an inverse trigonometric function appears, any branch can be used freely

Memory Tips

Principal value branch of sin inverse

Principal value branch of cos inverse

Principal value branch of tan inverse and cot inverse

Sin inverse is not reciprocal of sine
