Formula Sheet — Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Important formulas and equations from Inverse Trigonometric Functions for AEEE Mathematics.

Formulas — Inverse Trigonometric Functions

Basic Definitions and Domains/Ranges

y = sin⁻¹x ⟺ x = sin y, where y ∈ [-π/2, π/2]
y = cos⁻¹x ⟺ x = cos y, where y ∈ [0, π]
y = tan⁻¹x ⟺ x = tan y, where y ∈ (-π/2, π/2)

Fundamental Properties and Identities

sin⁻¹x + cos⁻¹x = π/2
tan⁻¹x + cot⁻¹x = π/2
sin⁻¹(-x) = -sin⁻¹x
cos⁻¹(-x) = π - cos⁻¹x

Addition and Subtraction Formulas

sin⁻¹x + sin⁻¹y = sin⁻¹(x√(1-y²) + y√(1-x²))
cos⁻¹x + cos⁻¹y = cos⁻¹(xy - √(1-x²)√(1-y²))
tan⁻¹x + tan⁻¹y = tan⁻¹((x+y)/(1-xy))
tan⁻¹x - tan⁻¹y = tan⁻¹((x-y)/(1+xy))

Multiple Angle Formulas

2tan⁻¹x = sin⁻¹(2x/(1+x²))
2tan⁻¹x = cos⁻¹((1-x²)/(1+x²))
2tan⁻¹x = tan⁻¹(2x/(1-x²))
2sin⁻¹x = sin⁻¹(2x√(1-x²))
