The inverse of a function B A f : exists if f is one-one onto i.e., a bijection and is given by x y f y x f = =

) ( ) (
1
.
Consider the sine function with domain R and range [1, 1]. Clearly this function is not a bijection and so it is not invertible.
If we restrict the domain of it in such a way that it becomes oneone, then it would become invertible. If we consider sine as a
function with domain
(
2
,
2
t t
and co-domain [1, 1], then it is a bijection and therefore, invertible. The inverse of sine
function is defined as x x = =
u u sin sin

all the angles whose sine is x can be written as , ) 1 ( o

1
sin
can
be taken as o t
n
