1、4.7 INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONSFor an inverse to exist the function MUST be one-to-one A function is one-to-one if for every x there is exactly one y and for every y there is exactly one x.So If x and/or y is raised to an even power then the inverse does not exist unless the domain is restricted
2、.The equation y=x2 does not have an inverse because two different x values will produce the same y-value.i.e.x=2 and x=-2 will produce y=4.The horizontal line test fails.In order to restrict the domain,a basic knowledge of the shape of the graph is crucial.This is a parabola with(0,0)as the vertex.R
3、estrict the domain to the interval 0,infinity)to make it one-to-one.Now lets look at the trig functionsxyxyxyy=sin xy=cos xy=tan xxyFor the graph of y=sin x,the Domain is(-,)the Range is -1,1Not a 1-1 functionSo it currently does not have an inversexyHowever we can restrict the domain to-/,/Note the
