Inverse Trig Functions

Trig Functions tell us what?

sides

angles

Relationship between the ratio of side lengths at a given angle

nothing

Trig so far...

Up to this point we have only been able to solve for side lengths using trig.

$\theta$ is a place holder for an angle measure (it's a number)

\sin\left(\theta\right)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

\cos\left(\theta\right)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

\tan\left(\theta\right)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}

What if we want to solve for an angle?

Then we need to use inverse functions

Inverse Trig Functions Notations

There are two types of notation for inverse functions:
arcsin, arccos, arctan
sin^-1, cos^-1, tan^-1
REGARDLESS OF NOTATION WE ALWAYS SAY "inverse" never "arc" or "to the -1"
arcsin = sin^-1we say "inverse sine" or "sine inverse"
arccos = cos^-1 we say "inverse cossine" or "cosine inverse"
arctan = tan^-1 we say "inverse tangent" or "tangent inverse"

use the 2nd button to access the functions above the buttons (they're printed in a light blue or white)

When you tap 2nd it turns gray, and you see the inverse functions for sine, cosine, and tangent

Find all missing measurements

$m\angle B\ :\ \arccos\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)\$ $=\ \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{9}{10}\right)\ =\ 25.8\degree\ \rightarrow26\degree$
You can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for missing side
Now that you know an acute angle, you can just subtract from 90
