What to Focus On
- A function must be one-to-one and onto to have an inverse.
- Trigonometric functions are periodic and many-to-one, so their domains must be restricted to define inverses.
- The inverse function reverses the input-output relationship of the original function.
- Principal value is the smallest angle satisfying the trigonometric equation.
- Domain restrictions ensure the function is one-to-one and invertible.
- Each inverse trigonometric function has a fixed range called the principal value branch.
- Graphs are reflections of original trigonometric functions over $ y = x $.
- Each graph is defined only within its principal value range.
- Understanding the shape helps in solving equations and inequalities.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
All trigonometric functions have inverses without any restrictions.
The range of cos⁻¹x is [-π/2, π/2] just like sin⁻¹x.
tan⁻¹(-x) = tan⁻¹x, so the negative sign can be ignored.
Memory Tips
Principal value range of sin⁻¹x is [−π/2, π/2]
Principal value range of cos⁻¹x is [0, π]
tan⁻¹x range is (−π/2, π/2)
sin⁻¹(−x) = −sin⁻¹x
