Y Arcsin X X Sin y y Arccos X X Cos Y: Medrano, Lester M. ACT-1

The document defines and compares the properties of inverse trigonometric functions. It provides: 1) Definitions, domains, ranges, and graphs of six inverse trigonometric functions: arcsine, arccosine, arctangent, arccotangent, arcsecant, and arccosecant. 2) Key properties for each function, such as whether they are bounded, continuous, monotonic, and where they equal zero. 3) The principal values and domains of arcsine, arccosine, arctangent and arccotangent, which are the inverse functions considered in elementary mathematics.

Definitions of inverse trigonometric functions and their main properties have been written in the same
named paragraph in the section “Trigonometry”. So, we’ll give here only short comments concerning their
graphs received by rotating the graphs of trigonometric functions around a bisector of the 1-st coordinate
angle.

----The functions y = Arcsin x ( Fig. 23 ) and y = Arccos x ( Fig. 24 ) are multivalued, unbounded functions;
their domain and codomain are correspondingly:  –1 x +1 and – < y < + . Because of they are multi-
valued functions, not considered in an elementary mathematics, their principal values y = arcsin x   and  y =
arccos x are considered as inverse trigonometric functions; their graphs have been distinguished on  Fig. 23 
and Fig. 24  as bold lines. The functions y = arcsin x and y = arccos x have the following characteristics and
properties:
- the both functions have the same domain: –1   x +1;  their codomains are:
   – / 2   y / 2  for  y = arcsin x and  0   y  for  y = arccos x ;
- they are bounded, non-periodic, continuous and monotone functions ( y = arcsin x is an
   increasing function;  y = arccos x – a decreasing function) ; - each of the functions has one zero (x = 0 of 
y = arcsin x; x = 1 of  y = arccosx).
The functions y = Arctan x ( Fig.25 ) and  y = Arccot x ( Fig.26 ) are multivalued, unbounded functions;  their
domain is the same:  – x + . Their principal values y = arctan x and  y = arccot x are considered as
inverse trigonometric functions; their graphs have been distinguished on Fig.25 and Fig.26 as bold
branches.The functions y = arctan x and y = arccot x have the following characteristics and properties:
- the both functions have the same domain: – x + ; their codomains are:
   – / 2 < y < / 2  for  y = arctan x   and  0 < y <   for  y = arccos x ;
- they are bounded, non-periodic, continuous and monotone functions ( y = arctan x is an increasing
function,  y = arccot x  is a decreasing function) ;
- only  y = arctan x  has one zero ( x = 0 );   y = arccot x  has no zeros

The domain of arcsec x is

♠The Inverse Cosecant Function (arccsc)

The domain of arccsc x is

All values of x, except -1 < x < 1

The range of arccsc x is

-π/2 ≤ arccsc x ≤ π/2, arccsc x ≠ 0
