Properties of Inverse Trigonometric Functions

1. Reciprocal Relations

Inverse trigonometric functions do not follow simple reciprocal


relationships like the standard trigonometric functions. However, you can
express one inverse function in terms of another using algebraic
identities:

sin⁻¹(x) + cos⁻¹(x) = π/2, for -1 ≤ x ≤ 1


tan⁻¹(x) + cot⁻¹(x) = π/2, for x > 0
sec⁻¹(x) = cos⁻¹(1/x), for |x| ≥ 1
csc⁻¹(x) = sin⁻¹(1/x), for |x| ≥ 1

2. Even and Odd Properties

Inverse trig functions have even-odd properties:

sin⁻¹(-x) = -sin⁻¹(x) → odd function


tan⁻¹(-x) = -tan⁻¹(x) → odd function
cos⁻¹(-x) = π - cos⁻¹(x) → neither even nor odd
cot⁻¹(-x) = π - cot⁻¹(x), for x < 0
sec⁻¹(-x) = π - sec⁻¹(x), for x ≤ -1
csc⁻¹(-x) = -csc⁻¹(x), for x ≤ -1
3. Algebraic Relations

Inverse trig functions can be expressed in terms of others using algebra:


tan⁻¹(x) = sin⁻¹(x / √(1 + x²))
sin⁻¹(x) = tan⁻¹(x / √(1 - x²)), for -1 < x < 1
cos⁻¹(x) = tan⁻¹(√(1 - x²) / x), for 0 < x < 1

4. Conversion Between Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Conversions using identities and triangle definitions:


If y = sin⁻¹(x), then cos y = √(1 - x²), so: cos⁻¹(x) = π/2 - sin⁻¹(x)
If y = tan⁻¹(x), then:
• sin y = x / √(1 + x²)
• cos y = 1 / √(1 + x²)
