PASSAGE : A
To study inverse trigonometric functions with full rigour is a big challenge and
it requires a purely analytical approach. Almost all results are true in a given
interval only. These intervals are discovered when we attempt to prove these
methodically. To invert the equality y = sin x, we write sin–1 y = x provided

|y| ≤ 1 and x ∈ − ,  otherwise we cannot write it as sin–1 y = x. To invert
