Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Inverse Trigonometric Functions after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

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
