Trig Graphs, Equations & Inverse Trig

Standard wave form

  • Solve sin θ = k by finding reference angle, then all co-terminal solutions + 2πn.
  • Inverse trig functions use restricted ranges: arcsin ∈ [−π/2,π/2], arccos ∈ [0,π], arctan ∈ (−π/2,π/2).
Always state the general solution with + 2πn (or + πn for tan) unless a specific interval is given.
