What is the definition of Inverse Trigonometric Functions?

Back

Inverse trigonometric functions are functions that determine the angle whose trigonometric ratio is a given number. They are denoted as sin^-1, cos^-1, and tan^-1.

What is the SOH CAH TOA mnemonic?

Back

SOH CAH TOA is a mnemonic to remember the definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent: SOH = sin = opposite/hypotenuse, CAH = cos = adjacent/hypotenuse, TOA = tan = opposite/adjacent.
