    Section 4.7 Inverse Trigonometric Functions

    Objective: In this lesson you learned how to evaluate the inverse


    trigonometric functions and compositions of trigonometric
    functions with inverse trigonometric functions.

    I. Inverse Sine Function (Pages 343−344) What you should learn


    How to evaluate and
    The inverse sine function is defined by . . . graph the inverse sine
    y = arcsin x if and only if sin y = x, where − 1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and function

    − π/2 ≤ y ≤ π/2.

    The domain of y = arcsin x is [− 1, 1] . The range of


    y = arcsin x is [− π/2, π/2] .

    Example 1: Find the exact value: arcsin (−1) .


    − π/2

    II. Other Inverse Trigonometric Functions (Pages 345−346)


    What you should learn
    The inverse cosine function is defined by . . . How to evaluate and
    graph the other inverse
    y = arccos x if and only if cos y = x, where − 1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and trigonometric functions
    0 ≤ y ≤ π.

    The domain of y = arccos x is [− 1, 1] . The range of


    y = arccos x is [0, π] .

    Example 2: Find the exact value: arccos .
    2
    π/3

    The inverse tangent function is defined by . . .


    y = arctan x if and only if tan y = x, where − ∞ < x < ∞ and
    − π/2 < y < π/2.

    The domain of y = arctan x is (− ∞, ∞) . The range of


    y = arctan x is (− π/2, π/2) .

    Example 3: Find the exact value: arctan( 3 ) .


    π/3

    Example 4: Use a calculator to approximate the value (if


    possible). Round to four decimal places.
    (a) arcos 0.85 (b) arcsin 3.1415
    (a) 0.5548 (b) Not possible

    III. Compositions of Functions (Pages 347−348) What you should learn


    How to evaluate and
    State the Inverse Property for the Sine function. graph the compositions
    of trigonometric
    If − 1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and − π/2 ≤ y ≤ π/2, then functions
    sin(arcsin x) = x and arcsin(sin y) = y.

    State the Inverse Property for the Cosine function.

    If − 1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤ π, then
    cos(arccos x) = x and arccos(cos y) = y.

    State the Inverse Property for the Tangent function.

    If x is a real number and − π/2 < y < π/2, then


    tan(arctan x) = x and arctan(tan y) = y.

    The inverse properties do not apply for arbitrary values of x and


    y. For example, the inverse property for the sine function is not
    value for values of y outside the interval
    [−π/2, π/2] .

    Example 5: If possible, find the exact value:


    (a) arcsin(sin 3π/4) (b) cos(arccos 0)
    (a) π/4 (b) 0
