NOTES #12- INVERSE TRIG FUNCTIONS:

Earlier this year we learned that a function has an inverse only if it is one to one.
That means that every x has one y and every y has one x. But if you look at the trig
functions they are not one to one. In order for them to have an inverse you have to
look at it in a restricted domain and then it would have an inverse in that domain.
Arcsinx is defined from  to  .

 
Arctan x is defined from to .

Arccos x is defined from 0 to  .
