Definition and Range of Inverse Trigonometric Functions
Definition:
The inverse trigonometric function is the function that reverses the operation of the trigonometric functions. It allows us to find the angle or angle measure that corresponds to a given trigonometric ratio.
Range:
The range of the inverse trigonometric functions is the set of all real numbers between -1 and 1.
Examples:
Inverse sine function: sin^-1(x)
Inverse cosine function: cos^-1(x)
Inverse tangent function: tan^-1(x)
Note:
The inverse trigonometric functions are not inverses of the trigonometric functions themselves. Instead, they are the inverses of the trigonometric ratios
