Inverse Trig Functions: Arccos
In the third video on inverse trigonometric functions, Sal follows a format similar to the last two. He finds the value for the arcos (-1/2) and shows the restricted domain of the arccos function. He also finds the value for cos(arccos...
Khan Academy
Inverse Trig Functions: Arctan
Continuing with inverse trigonometric functions, Sal finds the value for tan^-1-1. He also shows the restricted domain of the arctan function.
Khan Academy
Inverse Trig Functions: Arcsin
Sal defines the concept of inverse trigonometric functions and completes two examples of arcsin. Specifically, he finds the value of the arcsin (sqroot2/2) and arcsin (sqroot3/2). He also talks about the restricted domain of arcsin...
