Remarks
1. Let a real function f : Df → Rf , where Df = domain of f and Rf = range of f, be
invertible, then f –1 : Rf → Df is given by f –1 (y) = x iff y = f (x) for all x ∈ Df and
y ∈ Rf . Thus, the roles of x and y are just interchanged during the transition from
f to f –1

But if we restrict the domain from – to , both inclusive, we observe that in this part of

the domain f is one-one. Therefore, the function y = f (x) = sin x with Df = ⎡⎢− , ⎤⎥ and

Clearly, f is not one-one but if we restrict the domain to [0, π], f is one-one and so it has
an inverse function called the inverse cosine function or the arc cosine function, denoted
by cos–1. Thus,
y = cos–1 x iff x = cos y and y ∈ [0, π ].
It has the following properties :
(i) Domain of cos–1 x is [– 1, 1]
and its range is [0, π].
(ii) cos (cos–1 x) = x,
for x ∈ [– 1, 1] i.e. | x | ≤ 1.

the function y = cos–1 x and these values of y are known as the principal values of the
