Inverse Trigonometry Summary
Solving a problem that gives you an inverse: You should get one answer.
sin-1x:
Given a positive ratio, the angle will be positive in Quadrant I
Given a negative ratio, the angle will be negative in Quadrant IV
Inverse sine is always on the right side of the unit circle
csc-1x:
Given a positive ratio, the angle will be positive in Quadrant I
Given a negative ratio, the angle will be negative in Quadrant II
Inverse cosescant is always on the top of the unit circle
tan-1x:
Given a positive ratio, the angle will be positive in Quadrant I
Given a negative ratio, the angle will be negative in Quadrant IV
Inverse tangent is always on the right side of the unit circle
cos-1x:
Given a positive ratio, the angle will be positive in Quadrant I
Given a negative ratio, the angle will be positive in Quadrant II
Inverse cosine is always on the top of the unit circle
sec-1x:
Given a positive ratio, the angle will be positive in Quadrant I
Given a negative ratio, the angle will be positive in Quadrant II
Inverse secant is always on the top of the unit circle
cot-1x:
Given a positive ratio, the angle will be positive in Quadrant I
Given a negative ratio, the angle will be positive in Quadrant II
Inverse cotangent is always on the top of the unit circle
Solving an equation: You will get at least 1 answer between
, usually you will get more.
Cosine is positive in Quadrants I and IV
Cosine is negative in Quadrants II, III
Sine is positive in Quadrants I, II
Sine is negative in Quadrants III, IV
Tangent is positive in Quadrants I, III
Tangent is negative in Quadrants II, IV
When solving an equation:
If the 2nd angle is in:
1) Quadrant II: 180 – angle in triangle
2) Quadrant III: 180 + angle in triangle
3) Quadrant IV: 360 – angle in triangle
Reciprocals follow the primary trig function
