13-4 Functions
You have evaluated trigonometric functions for a
given angle. You can also find the measure of
angles given the value of a trigonometric function
by using an inverse trigonometric relation.

The expression sin-1 is read as “the inverse sine.”
In this notation,-1 indicates the inverse of the
sine function, NOT the reciprocal of the sine
function.
Holt Algebra 2
Inverses of Trigonometric
13-4 Functions
The inverses of the trigonometric
functions are not functions
themselves because there are
many values of θ for a particular
value of a. For example, suppose
that you want to find cos-1
.
Based on the unit circle, angles
that measure
and
have a cosine of
radians
. So do all
angles that are coterminal with
these angles.

Because more than one value of θ produces the
same output value for a given trigonometric
function, it is necessary to restrict the domain of
each trigonometric function in order to define the
inverse trigonometric functions.
Holt Algebra 2
Inverses of Trigonometric
13-4 Functions
Trigonometric functions with restricted domains
are indicated with a capital letter. The domains of
the Sine, Cosine, and Tangent functions are
restricted as follows.
Sinθ = sinθ for {θ|
}
θ is restricted to Quadrants I and IV.
Cosθ = cosθ for {θ|
}
θ is restricted to Quadrants I and II.
Tanθ = tanθ for {θ|
}
θ is restricted to Quadrants I and IV.

These functions can be used to define the inverse
trigonometric functions. For each value of a in
the domain of the inverse trigonometric
functions, there is only one value of θ. Therefore,
even though tan-1 has many values, Tan-11 has
only one value.
