INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTION
Trigonometric Functions are not one-one and onto on their natural domains and ranges, so
their inverse do not exist in all values but their inverse may exist in some interval of their
domain and ranges. Thus, we can say that inverse of trigonometric functions are defined
within restricted domains of corresponding trigonometric functions.
Suppose y= f(x)= sin x then sin−1 y=x
