Sec. 6.6: Inverse Trigonometric Functions
In this section, we will
I revisit definitions of trig functions - both right triangle andunit circle definitions
I define inverse trig functions and their domains and ranges
I revisit the cancellation laws given a function and its inversefunction
I find the derivatives of the inverse trig functions
I look at integral formulas of certain functions whose integralsare inverse trig functions
Definition of trig functions and the ratios of the sides
Unit circle definition
x = cos θ, y = sin θ
Example 1) Identify the corresponding (x , y) on the U.C. if θ = π6
Example 2) Find (x , y) if θ = 11π6
Graph of the Sine function
Here’s the graph of the sine function.
Since the function is not 1-1, we need to restrict its domain todefine its inverse function. One way it can be done is by restringthe domain to [−π/2, π/2]. That is, let
D(sin x) = [−π/2, π/2]
The graph of the inverse sine function
Here’s the graph of the sine function whose domain restricted to[−π/2, π/2].
For the above function, state its domain and range.
Recall that for the inverse function, we flip everything about y = x .

What are the domain and the range of the inverse sine function?
Graph of the Cosine function
Here’s the graph of the cosine function.
To define its inverse function, we will need to restrict its domain,so that the cosine function becomes 1-1. One way it can be doneis by restring the domain to [0, π]. So, let
D(cos x) = [0, π].
The graph of the inverse cosine functionHere’s the graph of the cosine function with its domain restrictedto [0, π].
For the above function, what is its domain and range?
Recall that for the inverse function, we flip everything about y = x .

Cancellation equationsGiven f (x) with its domain D(f (x)), if g(x) = f −1(x), then
I f −1(f (x)) = x for x ∈ D(f )I f (f −1(x)) = x for x ∈ D(f −1)
Examples) Recall that
1. e(ln x) = x for x ∈ D(ln x)
2. ln(ex) = x for x ∈ D(ex)
3. a( ) = x for x ∈
4. loga( ) = x for x ∈
