Evaluating Inverse Functions and Trigonometry

The video tutorial covers three essential tips for evaluating the composition of inverse functions. The first tip emphasizes understanding the restrictions on the domain of inverse trigonometric functions, using the unit circle for visualization. The second tip highlights the importance of recognizing when no solutions exist, particularly when dealing with values larger than one for sine and cosine. The third tip advises creating triangles to solve problems involving values not on the unit circle, utilizing the Pythagorean theorem to find missing sides.

What is the first tip for evaluating the composition of inverse functions?

• Memorize all trigonometric identities

• Use a calculator for all calculations

• Avoid using the unit circle

• Know your restrictions

Why is it important to know the domain restrictions for inverse trigonometric functions?

• To simplify calculations

• To avoid using a calculator

• To ensure correct angle evaluation

• To memorize all angles

What is the range of angles for the inverse sine function?

• 0 to 2π

• -π/2 to π/2

• 0 to π

• -π to π

When evaluating the composition of inverse functions, what is the recommended approach?

• Use a calculator

• Work from the inside out

• Guess the answer

• Work from the outside in

In the example of sin(sin⁻¹(-1)), what is the result?

• 0

• 1

• -1

• π

Why is it important to know restrictions when graphing triangles?

• To simplify calculations

• To use more colors

• To determine the correct orientation

• To draw larger triangles

What happens if the opposite side of a triangle is larger than the hypotenuse?

• The hypotenuse is incorrect

• The triangle is valid

• The triangle is inverted

• There is no solution

Why can tangent have values larger than one?

• It is always positive

• It uses the hypotenuse

• It is always negative

• It does not reference the hypotenuse

What should you do when dealing with values not on the unit circle?

• Ignore the values

• Use only sine and cosine

• Create a triangle

• Use a calculator

What theorem is used to find the missing side of a triangle?

• Inverse theorem

• Cosine rule

• Sine rule

• Pythagorean theorem
