KEY CONCEPTS (INVERSE TRIGONOMETRY FUNCTION)
GENERAL DEFINITION(S):
1. sin1 x , cos1 x , tan1 x etc. denote angles or real numbers whose sine is x , whose cosine is x and
whose tangent is x, provided that the answers given are numerically smallest available . These are
also written as arc sinx , arc cosx etc .
If there are two angles one positive & the other negative having same numerical value, then positive
angle should be taken .
2. PRINCIPAL VALUES AND DOMAINS OF INVERSE CIRCULAR FUNCTIONS :
 
(i) y = sin1 x where 1  x  1 ;   y  and sin y = x .
2 2
(ii) y = cos1 x where 1  x  1 ; 0  y   and cos y = x .
 
(iii) y = tan1 x where x  R ;   x  and tan y = x .
2 2
 
(iv) y = cosec1 x where x   1 or x  1 ;   y  , y  0 and cosec y = x .
2 2

(v) y = sec1 x where x  1 or x  1 ; 0  y   ; y  and sec y = x .
2
(vi) y = cot1 x where x  R , 0 < y <  and cot y = x .
Note That : (a) 1st quadrant is common to all the inverse functions .
(b) 3rd quadrant is not used in inverse functions .

(c) 4th quadrant is used in the CLOCKWISE DIRECTION i.e.   y  0 .
