Chapter 17. Inverse Trigonometric Functions
01. Inverse of a Function
We know that corresponding to every bijection (one-one onto function) → there exists
a bijection → defined by
if and only
The function → is called the inverse of function → and is denoted by
Thus, we have
⇔
We have also learnt that
for all ∈
and
for all ∈
02. Inverse of Sine Function
Consider the function → given by Sin It is a many-one into function as it
attains same value at infinitely many points and its range is not same as its
co-domain. We know that any function can be made an onto function, if we replace its
co-domain by its range. Therefore, → is a many-one onto functions.

Journey to obtain inverse of Sine function-
In order to make a one-one function, we will have to restrict its domain in such a way
that in that domain there is no turn in the graph of the function and the function takes every
value between and It is evident from the graph of Sin that if we take the
domain as then becomes one-one. Thus,
→ given
Sin
is a bijection and hence invertible.
The inverse of the sine function is denoted by Sin
Thus, Sin
is a function with domain
and range such that
Sin
⇔ Sin
Also,

The graph of the function → given by Sin is shown in
Figure. In order to obtain the graph of Sin
→ we interchange and
axes as shown in Figure.

03. Principal Value Branches of Inverse Trigonometric Functions
(i) Sin
⇒ Sin
In Sin for one value of can take infinite values.
But if Sin
is a function, then should possess only one value of for every
value of This means we should restrict the values which can possess. The restricted
set of values which can possess is its Principal Value Branch.
