Flashcards: Restricting Domain of Trigonometric Functions to Allow for Construction of Inverse: CCSS.Math.Content.HSF-TF.B.6

Find the exact value of the following statement.

$f(x)=\cos^{-1}(1)$

Your answer:

$\frac{\pi}{2}$

Your answer:

$\pi$

Your answer:

$-\pi$

Your answer:

$\frac{\pi}{3}$

Correct answer:

$2\pi$

Explanation:

This question is testing ones ability to understand and identify inverses of trigonometric functions as they relate to the unit circle.

For the purpose of Common Core Standards, " Understand that restricting a trigonometric function to a domain on which it is always increasing or always decreasing allows its inverse to be constructed." concept (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF-TF.B.6). It is important to note that this standard is not directly tested on but is used for building a deeper understanding on trigonometric functions.

Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.

Step 1: Identify what the question is asking for.

Since there is a trigonometric function raised to the negative one power, this question is talking about the inverse of the function. In other words, which angle on the unit circle results in a cosine equalling one?

$y=\cos^{-1}(a)\Rightarrow \cos(\theta)=a$

Therefore, theta needs to be solved for.

Step 2: Draw and label the unit circle.

Step 3: Locate the angle that results in one for its cosine value.

Recall that

$(x,y)=(\cos(\theta),\sin(\theta))$

therefore look for the (x,y) that has x=1 . Looking at the unit circle from step 2, it is seen that at angle $2\pi$ the cosine equals one.

Thus,

$f(x)=\cos^{-1}(1)\Rightarrow f(x)=2\pi$

To verify the solution simply find the cosine of the angle theta.

$\cos(2\pi)=1\rightarrow\cos^{-1}(1)=2\pi$

Find the exact value of the following statement.

$f(x)=\sin^{-1}(-1)$

$\sin^{-1}(-1)=\pi$

$\sin^{-1}(-1)=\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\sin^{-1}(-1)=\frac{3\pi}{2}$

$\sin^{-1}(-1)=\frac{3\pi}{4}$

$\sin^{-1}(-1)=2\pi$

$\sin^{-1}(-1)=\frac{3\pi}{4}$

Your answer:

$\sin^{-1}(-1)=2\pi$

Step 3: Locate the angle that results in negative one for its sine value.

Recall that

$(x,y)=(\cos(\theta),\sin(\theta))$

therefore look for the (x,y) that has y=-1 . Looking at the unit circle from step 2, it is seen that at angle $\frac{3\pi}{2}$ the sine equals negative one.

Thus,

$f(x)=\sin^{-1}(-1)\Rightarrow f(x)=\frac{3\pi}{2}$

To verify the solution simply find the sine of the angle theta.

$\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right)=-1\rightarrow\sin^{-1}(-1)=\frac{3\pi}{2}$
