Understanding Inverse Trigonometric Functions: A Simple Guide

Inverse trigonometric functions are essential when exploring the relationship between angles and their corresponding ratios in triangles. This article aims to clarify the concepts surrounding these functions, including their definitions, graphical representations, and rules that govern their use.

What Are Inverse Trigonometric Functions?

Inverse trigonometric functions are the inverse counterparts of standard trigonometric functions. Commonly denoted as Arc functions, they include:

arcsin (or sin⁻¹) for sine
arccos (or cos⁻¹) for cosine
arctan (or tan⁻¹) for tangent
