Inverse Trigonometric Functions Class 12, as the name suggests, engages in explaining the typical inverses that are part of a function. Like there is an inverse to addition and multiplication, there are inverses to trigonometric functions as well. Earlier in class, students dealt with the various domains and conditions applicable to functions. Now, they’ll learn about the inverses majorly attached to them in Inverse Trigonometric Functions Class 12.
Known otherwise as arcus functions (anti trigonometric functions or cyclometric functions), inverse trigonometric functions help find the domains and ranges usually attached to self-explanatory Inverse Trigonometric Functions, Class 12.
For example, the inverse of y=sinx will be y=sin-1x.
Now, there are six inverse trigonometric functions for each trigonometric ratio. To name all of them individually,
1. Arcsine
2. Arccosine
3. Arctangent
4. Arccotangent
5. Arcsecant
6. Arccosecant
These are concepts you’ll be introduced to in Inverse Trigonometric Functions Class 12.
