INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS 3.1 INTRODUCTION Inearlier chapters, we have learnt about functions, types of functions, composition of functions and inverse of a function. In this chapter, we shall use these concepts to define the inverses of all trigonometric functions and to study their properties. Let us first 1ecall the definition of inverse of a function. 3.2 INVERSE OF A FUNCTION In the previous chapter, we have learnt that corresponding to every bijection (one-one onto function) f : A — B there exists a bijection g:B > A defined by §(y) = xif and only f (x) = y. The function’ g : B > A is called the inverse of function f : A -> Band is denoted by f ~ Thus, we have : f@=yef "w= also, 1 ef)0) = J" F 9) = FY = » forall eA and, (fof ~*)(y) = s(F*w) =f) =y, forallyeB 3.3 INVERSES OF TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS We know that trigonometric functions are periodic functions, and hence, in general, all trigonometric functions are not bijections, Consequently, their inverses do not exist. However, if we restrict their domains and co-domains, they can be made bijections and we can obtain their inverses. In the following sections, we shall do all these things to obtain the inverses of trigonometric functions. 3.3.1 INVERSE OF SINE FUNCTION Consider the function f :R -> R given by f (x) =sin x, The graph of this function is shown in Fig. 3.1. Clearly, it is a many-one into function as it attains same value at infinitely many points and its range [- 1, 1] isnot same as its co-domain. We know that any function can be made an ‘onto function, if we replace its co-domain by its range. Therefore, f : R -> [-1, 1] isa many-one ‘onto function. In order to make f a one-one function, we will have to restrict its domain in such a way that in that domain there is no turn in the graph of the function and the function takes every value between - 1 and 1. tis evident from the graph of f (x) = sin xthat if we take the domain as {-/2, n/2], then f (x) becomes one-one. Thus, f: [-n/2, »/2]->[-1, 1] given by f(@) = sin 0 is a bijection and hence invertible. The inverse of the sine function is denoted by sin. Thus sin? is a function with domain (1, tand range [- n/2, n/2] such that sin“! x = 0 sin @ = x. _@ 32 MATHEMATICS.

In the above property we observe that the relations between trigonometric functions and their inverses hold true for specific values of 0. If 0 does not lie in the domain of a tri bs in which it is not a bijection, then the above relations do not hold good. For example, peeled holds true for 0€[-n/2,n/2} If O¢[-n/2, n/2], what is the value of *in”™ (sin 6)?
