Activity 5: Cardboard, White Chart Paper, Ruler, Coloured Pens, Adhesive, Pencil, Eraser, Cutter, Nails and Thin Wires

The document describes a method for constructing graphs of sin-1x using a mirror reflection. Students are instructed to: 1. Draw the graph of sinx on one side of the x-axis and points corresponding to sin(π/6), sin(π/4), etc on the other side. 2. Draw the line y=x and produce perpendiculars from points on sinx to this line, creating points for the sin-1x graph. 3. Join these points with a wire to show the graph of sin-1x, which is a mirror reflection of sinx about the line y=x. This demonstrates that sin-1x is the inverse of sinx.

Activity 5

OBJECTIVE MATERIAL REQUIRED


To draw the graph of sin −1 x , using the Cardboard, white chart paper, ruler,
graph of sin x and demonstrate the coloured pens, adhesive, pencil,
concept of mirror reflection (about eraser, cutter, nails and thin wires.
the line y = x).

METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
1. Take a cardboard of suitable dimensions, say, 30 cm × 30 cm.
2. On the cardboard, paste a white chart paper of size 25 cm × 25 cm (say).
3. On the paper, draw two lines, perpendicular to each other and name them
X′OX and YOY′ as rectangular axes [see Fig. 5].

4. Graduate the axes approximately as shown in Fig. 5.1 by taking unit on
X-axis = 1.25 times the unit of Y-axis.
5. Mark approximately the points

point fix a nail.
6. Repeat the above process on the other side of the x-axis, marking the points

on these points as N1′, N2′, N3′, N4′. Also fix a nail at O.
7. Join the nails with the help of a tight wire on both sides of x-axis to get the
–π π
graph of sin x from to .

8. Draw the graph of the line y = x (by plotting the points (1,1), (2, 2), (3, 3), ...
etc. and fixing a wire on these points).
9. From the nails N1, N2, N3, N4, draw perpendicular on the line y = x and produce
these lines such that length of perpendicular on both sides of the line y = x
are equal. At these points fix nails, I1,I2,I3,I4.
10. Repeat the above activity on the other side of X- axis and fix nails at I1′,I2′,I3′,I4′.
11. Join the nails on both sides of the line y = x by a tight wire that will show the
graph of y = sin −1 x .

DEMONSTRATION
Put a mirror on the line y = x. The image of the graph of sin x in the mirror will
represent the graph of sin −1 x showing that sin–1 x is mirror reflection of sin x
and vice versa.
