6.6 Graphing INVERSES Of Trigonometric Functions
By: Ben T. Date: 03-04-03 Period: 2nd Teacher: Mrs. BlackwellFind the inverse of the function y = Sin x. Then graph both functions.
To find the inverse you must switch the x and y positions in the original function.
This makes the function look like
x = Sin y
To express the function as a graph you need to solve for y in this form.
x / Sin = y
This function is also equal to y = Sin-1 x or y = Arcsin x.
Now since we have found the equations, we need to graph.
y = Sin x

To draw the inverse you must create the original y = Sin x. Then create asymptotes at the
pie and 2 pie. This happens because you can not have a value for y when sin equals zero.
After that you then create the opposite of what the original graph looks like.
y = Sin-1 x
