INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS Graphs of all 6 ITF
f : R  R ; f = sin x is many one into. (I) y = sin–1 x
To make it bijective cut its domain &
co-domain
f : [–/2, /2]  [–1, 1]
f = sin x is bijective. Now invertible.

All trigonometric functions are periodic and

hence not invertible. To make them invertible
we cut their domain.
sin–1x, cos–1x, tan–1x etc. denote angles or real
numbers whose sine is x, whose cosine is x
and whose tangent is x.
