  1. 11. Inverse Trig functions

  2. Inverse trig functions • sin-1(x) • cos-1(x) • tan-1(x) • Can also be written arcsin(x), arccos(x), arctan(x)

  3. Inverse functions • If you remember from Math 2….. • Functions must pass the horizontal line test in order for their inverse to be a function • Sin and cos do not pass the horizontal line test • Therefore we have to restrict their domain in order for their inverse to be a function

  4. arcsin • The part in bold is where we need to restrict its domain • So arcsin can only be between –π/2 and π/2 (the 1st and 4th quadrants)

  5. arccos • The part in bold is where we need to restrict its domain • So arccos can only be between 0 and π (the 1st and 2nd quadrants)

  6. arctan • We need to restrict the domain to just one piece of tangent • So arctanscan only be between - π /2and π/2 (the 1st and 4th quadrants)

  7. Take back out your unit circle!!!
