4.6 Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Remember that only one-to-one functions have inverses. So, in order to find the inverse functions for sine,
cosine, and tangent, we must restrict their domains to intervals where they are one-to-one.
To find the inverse sine function, we restrict the domain of sine to [−π/2, π/2].
We define the inverse sine function, sin−1 x by sin−1 x = y ↔ sin y = x.
sin−1 x, or arcsin x, has domain
and range
.
sin−1 x is the ANGLE in the interval [−π/2, π/2] whose sine is x.

In order to have an inverse for tangent, we restrict the domain of tangent to the interval (−π/2, π/2).

4.8 Indeterminate Forms and L’Hospital’s Rule
We have seen limits in the past that take the form 00 , ∞
∞ , and ∞ − ∞. When we encountered these, we had
to do something else...algebra, simplification, factoring...to be able to find the limit. These types of limits
are examples of indeterminate forms.

Indeterminate Difference: If lim [f (x) − g(x)] = ∞ − ∞, this limit is indeterminate. To find the limit, the
x→a
goal is once again to convert this difference into a quotient that we can use L’Hospital’s Rule on if necessary.

Indeterminate Powers: If lim [f (x)]g(x) is of the form 00 , ∞0 , or 1∞ , these are indeterminate. These cases
x→a
are treated by first taking the natural logarithm, which will make the limit of the form 0 · ∞. Then, proceed
as we did with indeterminate products. However, we must remember to “undo” the natural logarithm to
find our final answer. (Note that 0∞ is NOT an indeterminate form. A limit of this form will be 0.)
