Lt 5.4 Inverse Trig Functions

Front

Define inverse trigonometric functions.

Back

Inverse trigonometric functions are functions that reverse the action of the standard trigonometric functions. They take a ratio and return an angle. The main inverse trigonometric functions are sin^-1, cos^-1, and tan^-1.
