Inverse Trigonometric Functions: Trigonometric functions are many-one functions but we know that inverse of function exists if the function is bijective. If we restrict the domain of trigonometric functions, then these functions become bijective and the inverse of trigonometric functions are defined within the restricted domain. The inverse of f is denoted by ‘f". Let y = f(x) = sin x, then its inverse is x = sin’! y.

The value of an inverse trigonometric function, which lies in the range of principal value branch, is called the principal value of the inverse trigonometric function. Note: Whenever no branch of an inverse trigonometric function is mentioned, it means we have to consider the principal value branch of that function.
