12. Now place a mirror on the line y = x. The mirror image of the graph of y = sin x represents
the graph of y = sin–1x which shows that sin–1x is a reflexion of sin x about the line y = x.

(Based on Increasing & Decreasing Function) Term-1
ffiaterials Required
✧ Piece of plywood of suitable size
✧ Piece of wire of different lengths
✧ White paper sheet
✧ Adhesive
✧ Geometry box
✧ Trigonometric tables
2. Take two wires of convenient size. With the help of wires draw two perpendicular lines
XOX‘ and YOY‘ which will bisect perpendicularly at point O. Now XOX‘ will represent x-
axis and YOY‘ represent y-axis.
3. Take two more pieces of wire of suitable lengths and make its shape of curves representing
two functions and fix them on the paper sheet as shown in the figure.
4. Take two or three wires of suitable lengths for the tangents to the curves at different
points on the curves.
5. Take the straight wire and place it on the curve in (L.H.S.) such that it is tangent to the
curve at the point say A1 and making an angle Q1 with x-axis in the positive direction.
6. Take another two points say A2 and A3 on the same curve and make tangents using the
same wire at A2 and A3 making angles Q2 and Q3 respectively with x-axis in the positive
direction.
Page 11
7. Now take three points B1, B2 and B2 on the curve (R.H.S.) and using another wires forms
tangents to each of these points which makes angles 1, 2, 3 respectively with x-axis in
the positive direction.
Observations
1. With the above figure we have Q1 = 110º is an obtuse angle so tan Q1 is –ve.
2. Again we Sec. Q2 = 120 and Q3 = 125º are obtuse angles and therefore shapes of the
tangents
tan Q2 and tan Q3 both are –ve.
3. tan Q1 tan 110∘ 5.6712
tan Q2 tan 120∘ 2.7474 These are ve values
tan Q3 tan 125∘ 1
4. Thus we can say that the given function in (L.H.S) is a decreasing function.
5. In R.H.S. on measuring 1, 2 and 3 the angles which makes by the tangents are 3 = 65º,
3 = 75º, 1 = 0º.
Page 12
tan B1 tan 80 5.6112
tan B2 tan 75 These are +ve values
tan B3 tan 65
Thus we can say that the given function in (R.H.S.) is a increasing function.

5. Area of Rectangle R4 = 15 cm × 15 cm = 225 cm2
6. Area of Rectangle R5 = 14 cm × 17 cm = 238 cm2
7. Area of Rectangle R6 = 13 cm × 19 cm = 247 cm2
