Inverse Trignometric Functions
Introduction
In mathematics, inverse trigonometric functions, also known as arc functions, are the inverse counterparts of the trigonometric functions sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant. They are used to find the angle measure that corresponds to a given trigonometric ratio.
Defining Inverse Trigonometric Functions
The inverse sine function, denoted by arcsin(x) or sin⁻¹(x), is defined as the angle θ in the interval [-π/2, π/2] such that sin(θ) = x.
Similarly, the inverse cosine function, denoted by arccos(x) or cos⁻¹(x), is defined as the angle θ in the interval [0, π] such that cos(θ) = x.
The inverse tangent function, denoted by arctan(x) or tan⁻¹(x), is defined as the angle θ in the interval (-π/2, π/2) such that tan(θ) = x.
The inverse cotangent function, denoted by arccot(x) or cot⁻¹(x), is defined as the angle θ in the interval [0, π] such that cot(θ) = x.
The inverse secant function, denoted by arcsec(x) or sec⁻¹(x), is defined as the angle θ in the interval [0, π - ε] ∪ [π + ε, 2π] for ε > 0, such that sec(θ) = x.
The inverse cosecant function, denoted by arccosec(x) or csc⁻¹(x), is defined as the angle θ in the interval [π/2 - ε, 3π/2 + ε] for ε > 0, such that csc(θ) = x.
Graphs of Inverse Trigonometric Functions
The graphs of inverse trigonometric functions are reflections of the corresponding trigonometric functions across the line y = x.
- The graph of arcsin(x) is a reflection of the graph of y = sin(x) across the line y = x.

Introduction
In trigonometry, we encounter trigonometric functions like sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant, which define relationships between angles and sides of right triangles. However, these functions are not one-to-one, meaning a single output value can correspond to multiple input values. For instance, the sine function takes the same value (0.5) for angles 30° and 150°.
To address this limitation and obtain unique output values for each input, inverse trigonometric functions are introduced. These functions essentially reverse the operations of the original trigonometric functions, providing the angle corresponding to a given trigonometric ratio.
Inverse Trigonometric Functions
The inverse trigonometric functions are denoted by the prefix "arc" or "inv" followed by the corresponding trigonometric function. For example, the inverse sine function is denoted as arcsin or invsin, and the inverse tangent function is denoted as arctan or invtan.
Notation and Definitions
Let's consider the inverse sine function, arcsin(x). For any input value x within the range [-1, 1], arcsin(x) represents the angle whose sine is equal to x. In other words, arcsin(x) = θ, where sin(θ) = x.
Similarly, the inverse cosine function, arccos(x), takes an input value x within the range [-1, 1] and returns the angle whose cosine is equal to x. That is, arccos(x) = θ, where cos(θ) = x.
Other inverse trigonometric functions include:
- Inverse tangent: arctan(x) = θ, where tan(θ) = x
- Inverse cotangent: arccsc(x) = θ, where cot(θ) = x
- Inverse secant: arcsec(x) = θ, where sec(θ) = x
- Inverse cosecant: arcsec(x) = θ, where csc(θ) = x
Graphs and Properties
The graphs of inverse trigonometric functions are reflections of the corresponding trigonometric functions over the line y = x. For instance, the graph of arcsin(x) is the reflection of the graph of sin(x) over the line y = x.
Similar to their trigonometric counterparts, inverse trigonometric functions have certain properties and characteristics:
- Domain and Range:
- Arcsin(x): Domain: [-1, 1]; Range: [-π/2, π/2]
- Arccos(x): Domain: [-1, 1]; Range: [0, π]
- Arctan(x): Domain: (-∞, ∞); Range: (-π/2, π/2)
- Periodicity: Inverse trigonometric functions are periodic, with a period of 2π.
- Derivatives: Inverse trigonometric functions have well-defined derivatives, which can be expressed using the original trigonometric functions.
Applications
Inverse trigonometric functions have numerous applications in various fields, including:
- Solving trigonometric equations: Finding angles that satisfy given trigonometric relationships.
- Navigation and surveying: Determining angles and distances in navigation and surveying problems.
- Signal processing: Analyzing and processing periodic signals in electronics and communications.
- Physics and engineering: Modeling oscillatory motion and waves in physics and engineering.
Conclusion
Inverse trigonometric functions are essential tools in trigonometry, providing a means to uniquely determine angles based on given trigonometric ratios. Their graphs, properties, and applications make them valuable in various mathematical and scientific disciplines.
