The Inverse Sine Function
The inverse sine function is typically denoted by either arcsin or sin−1.
If you are to evaluate arcsin√22 or sin−1
√22 (these are the same
thing), then you are trying to determine what value for θ satisfies the
equation sin θ =√22 .
In other words, you are trying to determine what angle gives you the
sine described by the function. In this case, since sin θ =√22 when
θ = π4 , then it follows that arcsin
√22 = sin−1
√22 = π

Inverse Properties of Functions
Inverse Properties of Functions
If −1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and −π2 ≤ y ≤ π
2 , then
sin(arcsin x) = x and arcsin(sin y) = y .
If −1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ y ≤ π, then
cos(arccos x) = x and arccos(cos y) = y .
If x ∈ R and −π2 ≤ y ≤ π
2 , then
tan(arctan x) = x and arctan(tan y) = y .
The biggest takeaway from this is that the two functions cancel eachother out, only if you are working within the domain of the innermostfunction.
