Inverse Sine Function
Recall that for a function to have an inverse, it must be a
one-to-one function and pass the Horizontal Line Test.
f(x) = sin x does not pass the Horizontal Line Test
and must be restricted to find its inverse.

x
The inverse sine function is defined by
y = arcsin x
if and only if
sin y = x.
Angle whose sine is x
The domain of y = arcsin x is [–1, 1].
The range of y = arcsin x is [–/2 , /2].
Example:
a. arcsin 1  

b. sin 1 3  

tan y = x.
Angle whose tangent is x
The domain of y = arctan x is (, ) .

Composition of Functions:
f(f –1(x)) = x
and (f –1(f(x)) = x.
Inverse Properties:
If –1  x  1 and – /2  y  /2, then
sin(arcsin x) = x and arcsin(sin y) = y.
If –1  x  1 and 0  y  , then
cos(arccos x) = x and arccos(cos y) = y.
If x is a real number and –/2 < y < /2, then
tan(arctan x) = x and arctan(tan y) = y.
Example: tan(arctan 4) = 4
