Inverse Trigonometric Function - I

By -
Since none of the six trigonometric functions are one to one i.e. for many x we get the same values. 

As, sin 0 = 0, sin pi = 0, sin 2pi = 0 ..... and so on. They are not one-one rather they are periodic functions i.e. repeat its values after definite interval.

 Since, a function must be single valued i.e. one element of domain has only one image.

  Therefore to get the inverse trigonometric function we restrict the value of trigonometric function to its Principal Branch in which a function get all its values. The list of respective principal value corresponding to their inverse trigonometric functions are as follows. 

 MUG THIS CAREFULLY 

 S.No.             Function                       Principal Value Branch

 1.                   {\sin ^{ - 1}}x                            \left[ { - \frac{\pi }{2},\frac{\pi }{2}} \right]

 2.                 . {\cos ^{ - 1}}x                            [0,\pi ]

 3.                   {\tan ^{ - 1}}x                           {\left( { - \frac{\pi }{2},\frac{\pi }{2}} \right)}

 4.                   {\rm{cose}}{{\rm{c}}^{{\rm{ - 1}}}}{\rm{x}}                       \left[ { - \frac{\pi }{2},\frac{\pi }{2}} \right] - \{ 0\}   ( arccosec x does not exist at x = 0 )

 5.                   {\sec ^{ - 1}}x                             [0,\pi ] - \left\{ {\frac{\pi }{2}} \right\}    (arcsec x does not exist at x = pi/2)

 6.                   {\cot ^{ - 1}}x                             (0,\pi )
GRAPHS OF INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS:
1. f(x) = {\sin ^{ - 1}}x



Domain = [ - 1,1]

 Range = \left[ { - \frac{\pi }{2},\frac{\pi }{2}} \right]

You can also observe from graph,

 {\sin ^{ - 1}}( - x) = - {\sin ^{ - 1}}x



2. f(x) = {\cos ^{ - 1}}x
Domain = [ - 1,1]

 Range = [0,\pi ]

 You can also observe from the graph,

 {\cos ^{ - 1}}( - x) = \pi - {\cos ^{ - 1}}x

See the difference between the graph of arcsin x and arccos x.

From the above graph, you can observe
{\sin ^{ - 1}}x + {\cos ^{ - 1}}x = \frac{\pi }{2}


3. f(x) = {\tan ^{ - 1}}x

Domain = ( - \infty ,\infty )

 Range = \left( { - \frac{\pi }{2},\frac{\pi }{2}} \right)

 From the above graph you an observe,

 {\tan ^{ - 1}}( - x) = - {\tan ^{ - 1}}x

LIKE TO JOIN ON FACEBOOK ( click here ) Students are requested to understand this carefully   1. Arg(z) = pi/3 z = 0 is excluded since z = 0 is the only complex number whose argument is not defined 2. Arg(z) > pi/3 Since principal argument belongs to (-pi, pi],  therefore Argument cannot be greater than pi. therefore Arg(z) > pi/3 =>)  z = 0 is excluded 3. |Arg(z)| < pi/4 => -pi/4 < Arg(z) < pi/4 z = 0 is excluded 4. => Arg(z) = pi since, principal argument belongs to  , therefore Argument cannot be greater than pi. z = 0 is excluded 5.  -pi/3 is included z = 0 is excluded 6. Complex number   , equal only when z is purely real number or '0' IMP 7. Arg(|z|) = 0 Since |z| is a Positive Real number , therefore it lies on right side of x - axis i.e. on positive Real axis and x-axis has '0' argument because it makes 0 radian angle from x-axis For z = 0 , argument ...

7. Signum function , if , if , if Domain = Signum function takes the sign of the x e.g. , Clearly the Signum Function is defined for all Real values i.e. all values of 'x' but it can attain only three values -1,0 and 1. 8. Modulus Function , if , if Domain = R Properties of Modulus: For revision, here is the quick look of the properties of modulus function 1. 2. 3. 4. 9. Greatest integer function f(x) = [x] It is defined as the largest integer less than or equal to 'x' For example, , [5] = 5 , [ -8] = -8 etc. consider 1.3 Step 1 : which integers are less than or equal to 1.3 clearly, .................... -3, -2, -1, 0 and 1 Step 2 : Among the above integers which is greatest clearly it is 1 so, [1.3] = 1 Now, consider -1.3 Step 1: which integers are less than or equal to -1.3 ............ -4, -3 and -2 Step 2 : Among the above integers which is greatest clearly -2 is the greatest so, [-1.3] = -2 c...
