Inverse Trigonometry
| Domain (value) (\(x\)) | Range (Angle) (\(\theta\)) | |
|---|---|---|
| \(\sin^{-1}x\) | \([-1,1]\) | \([-\pi/2, \pi/2]\) |
| \(\cos^{-1}x\) | \([-1,1]\) | \([0, \pi]\) |
| \(\tan^{-1}x\) | \(\mathbb{R}\) | \((-\pi/2, \pi/2)\) |
| \(\cot^{-1}x\) | \(\mathbb{R}\) | \((0, \pi)\) |
| \(\sec^{-1}x\) | \((-\infty,-1] \cup [1,\infty)\) | \([0,\pi] \setminus \{\pi/2\}\) |
| \(\cosec^{-1}x\) | \((-\infty,-1] \cup [1,\infty)\) | \([-\pi/2,0) \cup (0,\pi/2]\) |
| Property 1 | Property 2 |
|---|---|
| \(\sin^{-1}(\sin\theta) = \theta\) | \(\sin(\sin^{-1}x) = x\) |
| \(\cos^{-1}(\cos\theta) = \theta\) | \(\cos(\cos^{-1}x) = x\) |
| \(\tan^{-1}(\tan\theta) = \theta\) | \(\tan(\tan^{-1}x) = x\) |
| \(\cosec^{-1}(\cosec\theta) = \theta\) | \(\cosec(\cosec^{-1}x) = x\) |
| \(\sec^{-1}(\sec\theta) = \theta\) | \(\sec(\sec^{-1}x) = x\) |
| \(\cot^{-1}(\cot\theta) = \theta\) | \(\cot(\cot^{-1}x) = x\) |
These compositions use the principal ranges in the table: for example, \(\sin^{-1}(\sin\theta)=\theta\) only when \(\theta\in[-\pi/2,\pi/2]\), and \(\cos^{-1}(\cos\theta)=\theta\) only when \(\theta\in[0,\pi]\).
| Property 3 | |
|---|---|
| \(\sin^{-1}(-x) = -\sin^{-1}(x)\) | \(\cos^{-1}(-x) = \pi -\cos^{-1}(x)\) |
| \(\tan^{-1}(-x) = -\tan^{-1}(x)\) | \(\cot^{-1}(-x) = \pi -\cot^{-1}(x)\) |
| \(\cosec^{-1}(-x) = -\cosec^{-1}(x)\) | \(\sec^{-1}(-x) = \pi -\sec^{-1}(x)\) |
| Property 4 |
|---|
| \(\sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{x}) = \cosec^{-1}(x)\) |
| \(\cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{x}) = \sec^{-1}(x)\) |
| \(\tan^{-1}(\frac{1}{x}) = \cot^{-1}(x),\quad x>0\) |
The reciprocal identities for inverse sine and inverse cosine require \(|x|\geq1\).
For \(x<0\), \(\tan^{-1}(1/x)=\cot^{-1}(x)-\pi\) with the stated principal range for \(\cot^{-1}\).
| Property 5 |
|---|
| \(\sin^{-1}x + \cos^{-1}x = \frac{\pi}{2}\) |
| \(\tan^{-1}x + \cot^{-1}x = \frac{\pi}{2}\) |
| \(\sec^{-1}x + \cosec^{-1}x = \frac{\pi}{2}\) |
| Property 6 |
|---|
| \(\sin^{-1}x + \sin^{-1}y = \sin^{-1} \big(x\sqrt{1-y^2} + y\sqrt{1-x^2}\big)\) |
| \(\sin^{-1}x - \sin^{-1}y = \sin^{-1} \big(x\sqrt{1-y^2} - y\sqrt{1-x^2}\big)\) |
| Property 7 |
|---|
| \(\cos^{-1}x + \cos^{-1}y = \cos^{-1} \big(xy - \sqrt{1-x^2} \sqrt{1-y^2}\big)\) |
| \(\cos^{-1}x - \cos^{-1}y = \cos^{-1} \big(xy + \sqrt{1-x^2} \sqrt{1-y^2}\big)\) |
For Properties 6 and 7, use these identities only when the resulting angle is in the principal inverse-trigonometric range; otherwise apply the appropriate branch adjustment.
| Property 8 |
|---|
| \(\tan^{-1}x - \tan^{-1}y \equiv \tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{x-y}{1+xy}\Big) \pmod{\pi}\) |
| \(\tan^{-1}x + \tan^{-1}y \equiv \tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{x+y}{1-xy}\Big) \pmod{\pi}\) |
These sum-and-difference identities assume the denominators are nonzero. Inverse-trigonometric results use the principal ranges above; adjust by a multiple of \(\pi\) when needed.
Property 9
Property 10
\(1-\cos\theta = 2 \sin^2(\theta/2)\)
\(1+ \cos\theta = 2\,\cos^2(\theta/2)\)
\(\sin\theta = 2\sin(\theta/2)\cos(\theta/2)\)
\(2\sin^{-1}x + \sin^{-1}(-x) = \cos^{-1}x\)
Expression and Substitution
| Expression | Substitution | Substitution |
|---|---|---|
| \(a^2 + x^2\) | \(x = a\tan\theta\) | \(x = a\cot\theta\) |
| \(a^2-x^2\) | \(x=a\sin\theta\) | \(x=a\cos\theta\) |
| \(x^2-a^2\) | \(x=a\sec\theta\) | \(x=a\cosec\theta\) |

$$ \frac{dz}{dx} = \frac{dz}{dy} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} $$

Finding Log
-
Given we need to find \(\log\) of \(\log 15.27\)
- Move the decimal after 1st digit and introduce power of 10.
\[ \log \textcolor{#f56c42}1.\textcolor{#f56c42}5\textcolor{#ad42f5}2\textcolor{#f542bc}7 \times 10^{\textcolor{#42f5f2}1} \]When the decimal is moved in left/right: $$ (-)\medspace \overrightarrow{\text{introduce negative powers}} \qquad \overleftarrow{\text{introduce positive powers}} \medspace(+) $$
-
Look for \(\textcolor{#f56c42}{15}\)th row and column with label \(\textcolor{#ad42f5}2\). which is \(\bold{\textcolor{#07fc03}{1818}}\).
-
Add Mean difference from column \(\textcolor{#f542bc}7\) in the corresponding row. which is \(\textcolor{#07fc03}{20}\)
\[ 1818 + 20 = \bold{\textcolor{#07fc03}{1838}} \] -
Write the exponent, insert decimal and write the value calculated in Step 3.
\[ \textcolor{#42f5f2}1.\textcolor{#07fc03}{1838} \] -
So \(\log 15.27 = \bold{\textcolor{#07fc03}{1.1838}}\)
Finding AntiLog
-
Given we need to find Antilog of \(15.5932\) $$ \begin{aligned} \log k &= 15.5932 \ k &= \operatorname{Antilog}(\medspace \textcolor{#42f5f2}{15}\textcolor{#f56c42}{.59}\textcolor{#ad42f5}3\textcolor{#f542bc}2\medspace) \end{aligned} $$
-
Look for \(0\textcolor{#f56c42}{.59}\)th row and column with label \(\textcolor{#ad42f5}3\). Which is \(\bold{\textcolor{#07fc03}{3917}}\).
-
Add Mean difference from column \(\textcolor{#f542bc}2\) to previous result. Which is \(\textcolor{#07fc03}2\)
\[ 3917 + 2 = \bold{\textcolor{#07fc03}{3919}} \] -
Add \(1\) to characteristic \(\textcolor{#42f5f2}{15} = \textcolor{#07fc03}{16}\) and add insert the decimal from left calculated in step 2. That means we need to add decimal after \(\textcolor{#07fc03}{16}\)th position
\[ \begin{aligned} 3919\enspace0000\enspace0000\enspace000 .\\ \implies k = \bold{\textcolor{#07fc03}{3.919\times10^{15}}} \end{aligned} \]
Quickly write the exponential form
Since, we want to put decimal just after 1st digit. We need to move decimal from 16th position to right after 1st digit; which will introduce +ve powers. (\(16 -1 = \textcolor{#07fc03}{15}\)). Since we moved 15 positions left.
\(3.919 \times 10^{\textcolor{#07fc03}{15}}\)
