Module 5-II – Trigonometric Functions

5-II.4 – Inverse Trig Functions, Equations and Inequalities 

Introduction

Both in module 5-I and in section 5-II.1 of this module we have briefly addressed the problem of finding angles from given trig ratios. This amounts to solving for t in an equation like sin(t)=v where v is a given value. In this section we shall look at such problems in more detail and will also find angles from more complicated equations involving their trig ratios.
