Chapter 4.7 Inverse trig functions
 Objectives
 Evaluate
and graph the inverse
sine function
 Evaluate and graph the remaining
five inverse trig functions
 Evaluate and graph the
composition of trig functions
1
The basic sine function fails the horizontal line test.
It is not one-to-one so we can’t find an inverse
function unless we restrict the domain.
Highlight the curve –π/2 < x < π/2
y = sin(x)
-π/2
On the interval [-π/2, π/2]
for sin x:
the domain is [-π/2, π/2]
and the range is [-1, 1]
Therefore
π/2
π
2π
We switch x and y to get inverse functions
So for f(x) = sin-1 x
the domain is [-1, 1] and
range is [-π/2, π/2]

Graphing the Inverse
First we draw the sin curve
Next we rotate it across the
y=x line producing this curve

Inverse sine function
y = sin-1 x or y = arcsin x
 The sine function gives us
ratios representing opposite
over hypotenuse in all 4
quadrants.

 The inverse sine gives us the
angle or arc length on the unit
circle that has the given ratio.
Remember the phrase “arcsine of x is the
angle or arc whose sine is x”.

whether it is arcsin, arccos, or arctan

Evaluating Inverse Cosine
If possible, find the exact value.

We need to find the angle in the range
[0, π] such that cos y = √(2)/2
What angle has a cos of √(2)/2 ? _______
What quadrant would it be positive and within the range of arccos? ____

b. cos-1(-1) = __

Warnings and Cautions!
Inverse trig functions are equal to the arc trig
function. Ex: sin-1 θ = arcsin θ
Inverse trig functions are NOT equal to the
reciprocal of the trig function.
Ex: sin-1 θ ≠ 1/sin θ
There are NO calculator keys for: sec-1 x, csc-1 x,
or cot-1 x
And csc-1 x ≠ 1/csc x
sec-1 x ≠ 1/sec x
cot-1 x ≠ 1/cot x
10
Evaluating Inverse functions
with calculators ([E] 25 & 34)
If possible, approximate
to 2 decimal places.
19. arccos(0.28) = ____
22. arctan(15) = _____
26. cos-1(0.26) = ____
34. tan-1(-95/7) = ____
Use radian mode unless
degrees are asked for.

Guided practice
Example of [E] 28 & 30
Use an inverse trig function “θ as a function of x”
means to write an equation
to write θ as a function of x. of the form θ equal to an
expression with x in it.
28.
Cos θ = 4/x so
x
θ = cos-1(4/x) where x > 0

tan θ = (x – 1)/(x2 – 1)
x  1 θ = tan-1(x – 1)/(x2 – 1)
where x – 1 > 0 , x > 1

Composition of trig functions
