How to Study Inverse Trigonometric Functions

A structured approach to studying Inverse Trigonometric Functions for J&K CET Mathematics.

Study Plan for Inverse Trigonometric Functions

1

Day 1–2: Learn the Theory

Study the chapter thoroughly. Note down definitions, formulas, and key concepts.

2

Day 3: Practice Problems

Solve practice questions and previous year J&K CET problems. There are 254 questions available for this chapter.

3

Day 4: Revise & Test

Revise key formulas and concepts without looking at notes. Take a practice quiz to test your understanding.

What to Focus On

  • Domain of sin⁻¹x and cos⁻¹x: [-1, 1]
  • Domain of tan⁻¹x and cot⁻¹x: All real numbers (R)
  • Domain of sec⁻¹x and cosec⁻¹x: R - (-1, 1) or |x| ≥ 1

  • sin⁻¹(-x) = -sin⁻¹(x) [odd function]
  • cos⁻¹(-x) = π - cos⁻¹(x)
  • tan⁻¹(-x) = -tan⁻¹(x) [odd function]

  • tan⁻¹x + tan⁻¹y = tan⁻¹((x+y)/(1-xy)) when xy < 1
  • sin⁻¹x + sin⁻¹y = sin⁻¹(x√(1-y²) + y√(1-x²)) when x²+y² ≤ 1
  • cos⁻¹x + cos⁻¹y = cos⁻¹(xy - √(1-x²)√(1-y²)) when x+y ≥ 0

Common Mistakes to Avoid

sin⁻¹(sin x) = x for all real values of x

The range of tan⁻¹x is [0, π] like cos⁻¹x

sin⁻¹x + cos⁻¹x = π/2 for all real x
