Inverse Sine Function
Recall that for a function to have an inverse, it must be a
one-to-one function and pass the Horizontal Line Test.
f(x) = sin x does not pass the Horizontal Line Test
- domain must be restricted to find its inverse.

y = sin x

sin x has an inverse

The inverse sine function is defined by
y = sin-1x
if and only if
sin y = x.
Angle whose sine is x
The domain of y = sin-1x is [–1, 1].
The range of y = sin-1x is [–/2 , /2].

The inverse cosine function is defined by

if and only if
cos y = x.
Angle whose cosine is x
The domain of y = cos-1x is [–1, 1].
The range of y = cos-1x is [0 , ].

The inverse tangent function is defined by
y = tan-1x
if and only if
tan y = x.
Angle whose tangent is x
The domain of y = tan-1x is (, ) .
The range of y = tan-1x is (–/2 , /2).

Composition of Functions:
f(f –1(x)) = x
and f –1(f(x)) = x.
Inverse Properties:
If –1  x  1 and – /2  y  /2, then
sin(sin-1x) = x
and sin-1(sin y) = y.
If
–1  x  1 and
0  y  ,
then
cos(cos-1x) = x and cos-1(cos y) = y.
If x is a real number and –/2 < y < /2, then
tan(tan-1x) = x and tan-1(tan y) = y.
Example: tan(tan-14) =
