21 a. If the domain of secant is restricted to, then the range of arcsecant must also be because they are inverses. The domain of arcsecant that produces this range is D = (, ] [1, ). This is determined by finding the values for secant produced by the endpoints of the domain of secant. So, sec π = and sec 0 = 1. Also, as θ approaches from the left, sec θ approaches, and as θ approaches from the right, sec θ approaches. c. If restrictions are not put on the domain of the secant and cosecant functions when graphing the inverses, similar to the inverses of sine, cosine, and tangent, the inverses will not be functions. Without domain restrictions, y = sec x and y = csc x are no longer one-to-one and, therefore, no longer have inverses. If the domain of cosecant is restricted to must also be, then the range of arccosecant because they are inverses. The domain of arccosecant that produces this range is D = (, ] [1, ). This is determined by finding the values for cosecant produced by the endpoints of the domain of cosecant. So, csc = 1 and. Also, as θ approaches 0 from the left, csc θ approaches, and as θ approaches 0 from the right, csc θ approaches. b. arcsecant arccosecant esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 21

The range of sin x is [, 1], so the range of sin (arcsin x) is also [, 1]. f represents arcsin (sin x). The domain of sin x is (, ), so the domain of arcsin (sin x) is also (, ). The range of arcsin is limited to f also., so the range of arcsin (sin x) is f f f o f c. f f represents cos (arccos x). The domain of arccos x is [, 1], so the domain of cos (arccos x) is also [, 1]. The range of cos x is [, 1], so the range of cos (arccos x) is also [, 1]. f represents arccos (cos x). The domain of cos x is (, ), so the domain of arccos (cos x) is also (, ). The range of arccos is limited to [0, π], so the range of arccos (cos x) is also [0, π]. f The graph of g g should be the line y = x for x 1.

24 4-6 Inverse Trigonometric Functions g g 66. ERROR ANALYSIS Alisa and Trey are discussing inverse trigonometric functions. Because tan x =, Alisa conjectures that tan x =. Trey disagrees. Is either of them correct? Explain. e. Sample answer: For f (x) = tan (tan x), due to the inverse property of trigonometric functions, for all values of x, f (x) = x. This should result in the line y = x for all real numbers. The graph of g(x) = tan (tan x) will be different because the tan x is undefined for multiples of π. As a result, asymptotes for multiples of π can be expected. We can also due to the definition of expect a range of Trey is correct. Alisa should not assume that all relationships of trigonometric functions apply to their inverses. She should also not make the mistake of thinking that sin and tan = x=, cos x=,, and using these false relationships to prove her incorrect assumption. Trigonometric values of angles are related to each other. However, when we find sin x, cos x, and tan x, we are calculating angle measures. Angle measures by themselves do not have this unique relationship. arctan. f(x) = tan (tan x) 67.

REASONING Determine whether the following statement is true or false: If cos =, then If we make a table of values, we can see that sin x + cos x = in the interval [, 1]. x sin x 0 cos x sin x + cos x The graph of y = sin 1 x + cos 1 x supports this conjecture. Every y-value appears to be for the given domain. π x sin x - cos x 0 - sin x + cos x - cos =. Explain your reasoning. False; sample answer: does not fall within the range of the inverse. Recall that arccos is restricted to the upper half of the unit circle. The value of θ for cos = θ is. y = cos x is one-to-one only for [0, π]. Only within this domain does the inverse of y = cos x exist. REASONING Determine whether each function is odd, even, or neither. Justify your answer. 69. y = sin x Sample answer: Suppose y = sin 1 x is odd. The definition of an odd function states for every x in the domain of f, f ( x) = f (x). If we let sin x = u, we have x = sin u. From Lesson 4-3, we know that the sine function is odd, so x = sin ( u). From here, we can get sin ( x) = u. Also, as shown below, the graph of y = sin 1 x is symmetric with respect to the origin. esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 25

26 70. y = cos x Sample answer: The graph of y = cos 1 x is not symmetric with respect to the y-axis or origin. Therefore, y = cos 1 x is neither even nor odd. 71. y = tan x 72. Writing in Math Explain how the restrictions on the sine, cosine, and tangent functions dictate the domain and range of their inverse functions. Sample answer: The restricted domains of the cosine, sine, and tangent functions become the ranges of the arccosine, arcsine, and arctangent functions respectively. Additionally, the ranges of the cosine, sine, and tangent functions under these restrictions become the domains of their inverses. For example, when x 1, sin (sin x) = x. In this case, the range of sin x, [, 1], limits the domain of sin x. Sample answer: Suppose y = tan 1 x is odd. The definition of an odd function states for every x in the domain of f, f ( x) = f (x). If we let tan x = u, we have x = tan u. From Lesson 4-3, we know that the tangent function is odd, so x = tan ( u). From here, we can get tan ( x) = u. Graphically, it can be seen that for every x in the domain of f, f ( x) = f (x). Also, as shown below, the graph of y = tan 1 x is symmetric with respect to the origin. esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 26

WAVES A leaf floats on the water bobbing up and down. The distance between its highest and lowest points is 4 centimeters. It moves from its highest point down to its lowest point and back to its highest point every 10 seconds. Write a cosine function that models the movement of the leaf in relationship to the equilibrium point. The distance between the highest and lowest points is 4 centimeters, so the magnitude is half of that, or 2. Therefore, a = 2.

If one of the angles has a measure of 47, what is the length of the shortest leg of the triangle? A 45.7 in. B 49.0 in. C 62.5 in. D 71.8 in. The shortest leg of a right triangle is opposite the smallest angle of the triangle. One angle is 90, another is 47, and the last angle is 43. We can use sine and this angle to find the length of the shortest side. First, find tan 1. To do this, find a point on the unit circle on the interval [0, 2π] to represent this ratio. The correct choice is A. In this diagram, θ = tan. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse. Now we can evaluate. Therefore, sin θ =. The correct choice is H. esolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 31

F 39 G 44 H 51 J 78 If truck A is traveling twice as fast, then it has traveled twice the distance as truck B. Therefore, in the diagram, the length of CB is x and the length of CA is 2x.We can use the Pythagorean theorem to determine the length of CB.
