1 Inverse Trig Functions

2 If cos (x) = 0 then what is x?

3 cos /2 = 0 cos 3 /2 = 0 Answer: every odd or (2n+1) where n=0,1,2,3… (1,0)(-1,0) (0,-1)

4 In Algebra you learned to switch x & y to find the inverse function If y = cos x Then x = cos y …solving for y, we write…

5 y = cos -1 (x) is not a function WHY? Fails the horizontal line test There is more than one value of x for each value of y Examples: cos -1 ( 90 o) = 0 cos -1 ( 270 o) = 0

6 HOW CAN we restrict the domain of y=cos x so that cos -1 x is a function?

7 0 to ……. Range of y=cos -1 (x) will be restricted too.

8 cos(x) restricted Domain: Range:

9 y=cos(x) and y=cos -1 (x) are reflections over y = x Click here to look…

10 y = cos -1 (x) List the… DOMAIN: RANGE:

11 y = sin x fails the horizontal line test Let’s restrict it!

12 y = sin x restricted Domain Range

13 REFLECT y = sin x over y = x to graph y = sin -1 x Switch x and y and plot the 3 points…

14 y = sin -1 (x)? Domain: Range:

15 RELATE & EXTEND: graph y = tan -1 x Graph y = tan x Restrict the domain Reflect over y = x State DOMAIN and RANGE of y = tan -1 x

16 Evaluate: cos -1 = x Where between 0 and is cos(x) = Use chart of trig values to help!!!

18 cos -1 = x The angle between 0 and is 45 degrees or Since the ratio is negative the angle must be between and

19 Evaluate

23 SNOWBALL FIGHT! 1. YOUR NAME on one side 2. Problem on back 3. Answer on separate sheet 4. #1-3, leaving space on answer sheet NO CALCULATORS!
