Inverse trigonometry refers to the branch of
mathematics that deals with finding angles from gi
trigonometric ratios. The inverse trigonometric ven
functions—arcsin (sin⁻¹), arccos (cos⁻¹), arctan (ta
and their counterparts—are used to determine n⁻¹)
angle whose sine, cosine, or tangent is known. the
Mathematically, if:
sin(θ) = x, then θ = sin⁻¹(x) (Inverse sine)
cos(θ) = x, then θ = cos⁻¹(x) (Inverse cosine)
tan(θ) = x, then θ = tan⁻¹(x) (Inverse tangent)
These functions have specific domains and ranges
are fundamental in solving equations related to an d

conclusion
Inverse trigonometric functions play a
crucial role in mathematics, especially in
calculus and coordinate geometry. Each
function has a specific domain and range,
which defines where it is applicable and
how it behaves. Understanding these helps
in solving complex equations and in real-
life applications like physics and
engineering. Mastering these concepts
builds a strong foundation for higher-level
studies and competitive exams.
