Inverse Trigonometric Functions Concepts

The video tutorial by Amal Kumar explores the concept of inverse trigonometric functions, focusing on the problem of finding the exact value of tan inverse tan of 4 PI by 3. The tutorial explains why the expected result of f inverse of f(x) equals x does not hold in this case. It delves into the calculation of the angle 4 PI by 3, its position in the Cartesian plane, and the properties of the tangent function in different quadrants. The solution involves understanding the acute angle and using trigonometric identities to find the correct value. The tutorial concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding the domain of inverse functions and how it affects the results.
