Inverse Trigonometric Functions
None of the six basic trigonometric functions has an inverse
function.
5
Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Under suitable restrictions, each of the six trigonometric
functions is one-to-one and so has an inverse function, as
shown in the following definition.

Inverse Trigonometric Functions
The graphs of the six inverse trigonometric functions are
shown in Figure 5.26.

Review of Basic Differentiation Rules
An elementary function is a function from the following list
or one that can be formed as the sum, product, quotient, or
composition of functions in the list.

Review of Basic Differentiation Rules
With the differentiation rules introduced so far in the text,
you can differentiate any elementary function.
For convenience, these differentiation rules are
summarized below.
