The inverse trigonometric functions, denoted by sin–1x or (arc sinx), cos–1x etc., denote the angles whose sine,
cosine etc, is equal to x. The angles are usually the numerically smallest angles, except in the case of cot–1x, and
if positive & negative angles have same numerical value, the positive angle has been chosen.
It is worthwhile noting that the functions sinx, cosx etc are in general not invertible. Their inverse is defined by
choosing an appropriate domain & co-domain so that they become invertible. For this reason the chosen value
is usually the simplest and easy to remember.

From the above discussions following IMPORTANT points can be concluded.
(i) All the inverse trigonometric functions represent an angle.
(ii) If x 0, then all six inverse trigonometric functions viz sin–1 x, cos–1 x, tan–1 x, sec –1x, cosec –1x, cot–1x
represent an acute angle.
(iii) If x < 0, then sin–1x, tan–1x & cosec–1x represent an angle from /2 to 0 (IV th quadrant)
(iv) If x < 0, then cos–1 x, cot–1x & sec–1x represent an obtuse angle. (IInd quadrant)
(v) IIIrd quadrant is never used in inverse trigonometric function.

(A) 5 / 6 (B) / 2 (C) 3 / 2 (D) none of these
Solution :
sin–1 3 / 2 = – sin–1
3 / 2 = – / 3
and cos–1 (cos (7 / 6) = cos–1 cos (2 – 5 / 6) = cos–1 cos ( 5 / 6) = 5/6

Here, = 10 radians which does not lie between –/2 and /2
But, 3 – i.e., 3 – 10 lie between – and
2 2
Also, sin(3 – 10) = sin 10
sin–1(sin 10) = sin–1 (sin (3 – 10)) = (3 – 10)
(ii) We know that,
tan–1(tan) , if –/2 < < /2. Here, = –6, radians which does not lie between –/2
and /2. We find that 2 – 6 lies between –/2 and /2 such that;
tan (2 – 6) = –tan 6 = tan(–6)
tan–1(tan(–6)) = tan–1 (tan(2 – 6)) = (2 – 6)
(iii) cot–1(cot4) = cot–1(cot( + (4 – ))) = cot–1(cot(4 – )) = (4 – ) Ans.

Illustration 19 : If (tan–1 x)2 + (cot–1 x )2 = 52 / 8 , then x is equal to-
(A) –1 (B) 0 (C) 1 (D) none of these
Solution : The given equation can be written as (tan–1 x + cot–1 x )2 – 2 tan–1 x cot–1 x = 52 / 8
Since tan–1 x + cot–1 x = /2 we have
(/2)2 – 2tan–1 x (/2 – tan–1 x ) = 52 / 8
