1.4 Inverse Functions

Learning Objectives

  • Determine the conditions for when a function has an inverse.
  • Use the horizontal line test to recognize when a function is one-to-one.
  • Find the inverse of a given function.
  • Draw the graph of an inverse function.
  • Evaluate inverse trigonometric functions.

An inverse function reverses the operation done by a particular function. In other words, whatever a function does, the inverse function undoes it. In this section, we define an inverse function formally and state the necessary conditions for an inverse function to exist. We examine how to find an inverse function and study the relationship between the graph of a function and the graph of its inverse. Then we apply these ideas to define and discuss properties of the inverse trigonometric functions.

Existence of an Inverse Function

We begin with an example. Given a function f and an output y=f(x), we are often interested in finding what value or values x were mapped to y by f. For example, consider the function f(x)=x^3+4. Since any output y=x^3+4, we can solve this equation for x to find that the input is x=\sqrt[3]{y-4}. This equation defines x as a function of y. Denoting this function as f^{-1}, and writing x=f^{-1}(y)=\sqrt[3]{y-4}, we see that for any x in the domain of f, \, f^{-1}(f(x))=f^{-1}(x^3+4)=x. Thus, this new function, f^{-1}, "undid" what the original function f did. A function with this property is called the inverse function of the original function.

Note that f^{-1} is read as "f inverse." Here, the -1 is not used as an exponent and f^{-1}(x) \ne 1/f(x). (Figure) shows the relationship between the domain and range of f and the domain and range of f^{-1}.

Recall that a function has exactly one output for each input. Therefore, to define an inverse function, we need to map each input to exactly one output. For example, let's try to find the inverse function for f(x)=x^2. Solving the equation y=x^2 for x, we arrive at the equation x= \pm \sqrt{y}. This equation does not describe x as a function of y because there are two solutions to this equation for every y>0. The problem with trying to find an inverse function for f(x)=x^2 is that two inputs are sent to the same output for each output y>0. The function f(x)=x^3+4 discussed earlier did not have this problem. For that function, each input was sent to a different output. A function that sends each input to a different output is called a one-to-one function.

Definition

We say a f is a one-to-one function if f(x_1) \ne f(x_2) when x_1 \ne x_2.

One way to determine whether a function is one-to-one is by looking at its graph. If a function is one-to-one, then no two inputs can be sent to the same output. Therefore, if we draw a horizontal line anywhere in the xy-plane, according to the horizontal line test, it cannot intersect the graph more than once. We note that the horizontal line test is different from the vertical line test. The vertical line test determines whether a graph is the graph of a function. The horizontal line test determines whether a function is one-to-one ((Figure)).

Rule: Horizontal Line Test

A function f is one-to-one if and only if every horizontal line intersects the graph of f no more than once.

Determining Whether a Function Is One-to-One

For each of the following functions, use the horizontal line test to determine whether it is one-to-one.

  1. An image of a graph. The x axis runs from -3 to 11 and the y axis runs from -3 to 11. The graph is of a step function which contains 10 horizontal steps. Each steps starts with a closed circle and ends with an open circle. The first step starts at the origin and ends at the point (1, 0). The second step starts at the point (1, 1) and ends at the point (1, 2). Each of the following 8 steps starts 1 unit higher in the y direction than where the previous step ended. The tenth and final step starts at the point (9, 9) and ends at the point (10, 9)
  2. An image of a graph. The x axis runs from -3 to 6 and the y axis runs from -3 to 6. The graph is of the function

Inverse Trigonometric Functions

The six basic trigonometric functions are periodic, and therefore they are not one-to-one. However, if we restrict the domain of a trigonometric function to an interval where it is one-to-one, we can define its inverse. Consider the sine function ((Figure)). The sine function is one-to-one on an infinite number of intervals, but the standard convention is to restrict the domain to the interval [-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}]. By doing so, we define the inverse sine function on the domain [-1,1] such that for any x in the interval [-1,1], the inverse sine function tells us which angle \theta in the interval [-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}] satisfies  \sin \theta =x. Similarly, we can restrict the domains of the other trigonometric functions to define inverse trigonometric functions, which are functions that tell us which angle in a certain interval has a specified trigonometric value.

Definition

The inverse sine function, denoted  \sin^{-1} or arcsin, and the inverse cosine function, denoted \cos^{-1} or arccos, are defined on the domain D=\{x|-1 \le x \le 1\} as follows:

\begin{array}{c}\sin^{-1}(x)=y \,\, \text{if and only if} \, \sin (y)=x \, \text{and} \, -\frac{\pi}{2} \le y \le \frac{\pi}{2};\hfill \\ \cos^{-1}(x)=y \,\, \text{if and only if} \, \cos (y)=x \, \text{and} \, 0 \le y \le \pi \hfill \end{array}

The inverse tangent function, denoted \tan^{-1} or arctan, and inverse cotangent function, denoted \cot^{-1} or arccot, are defined on the domain D=\{x|-\infty <x<\infty \} as follows:

\begin{array}{c}\tan^{-1}(x)=y \,\, \text{if and only if} \, \tan (y)=x \, \text{and} \, -\frac{\pi}{2}<y<\frac{\pi}{2};\hfill \\ \cot^{-1}(x)=y \,\, \text{if and only if} \, \cot (y)=x \, \text{and} \, 0<y<\pi \hfill \end{array}

The inverse cosecant function, denoted \csc^{-1} or arccsc, and inverse secant function, denoted \sec^{-1} or arcsec, are defined on the domain D=\{x| \, |x| \ge 1\} as follows:

\begin{array}{c}\csc^{-1}(x)=y \,\, \text{if and only if} \, \csc (y)=x \, \text{and} \, -\frac{\pi}{2} \le y \le \frac{\pi}{2}, \, y\ne 0;\hfill \\ \sec^{-1}(x)=y \,\, \text{if and only if} \, \sec (y)=x \, \text{and} \, 0 \le y \le \pi, \, y \ne \pi/2\hfill \end{array}

To graph the inverse trigonometric functions, we use the graphs of the trigonometric functions restricted to the domains defined earlier and reflect the graphs about the line y=x ((Figure)).

Go to the following site for more comparisons of functions and their inverses.

When evaluating an inverse trigonometric function, the output is an angle. For example, to evaluate \cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2}), we need to find an angle \theta such that  \cos \theta =\frac{1}{2}. Clearly, many angles have this property. However, given the definition of \cos^{-1}, we need the angle \theta that not only solves this equation, but also lies in the interval [0,\pi]. We conclude that \cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{\pi}{3}.

We now consider a composition of a trigonometric function and its inverse. For example, consider the two expressions  \sin (\sin^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})) and \sin^{-1}(\sin(\pi)). For the first one, we simplify as follows:

 \sin (\sin^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}))= \sin (\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}.

For the second one, we have

\sin^{-1}( \sin (\pi))=\sin^{-1}(0)=0.

The inverse function is supposed to "undo" the original function, so why isn't \sin^{-1}(\sin (\pi))=\pi ? Recalling our definition of inverse functions, a function f and its inverse f^{-1} satisfy the conditions f(f^{-1}(y))=y for all y in the domain of f^{-1} and f^{-1}(f(x))=x for all x in the domain of f, so what happened here? The issue is that the inverse sine function, \sin^{-1}, is the inverse of the restricted sine function defined on the domain [-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}]. Therefore, for x in the interval [-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}], it is true that \sin^{-1}(\sin x)=x. However, for values of x outside this interval, the equation does not hold, even though \sin^{-1}(\sin x) is defined for all real numbers x.

What about  \sin (\sin^{-1}y)? Does that have a similar issue? The answer is no. Since the domain of \sin^{-1} is the interval [-1,1], we conclude that  \sin (\sin^{-1}y)=y if -1 \le y \le 1 and the expression is not defined for other values of y. To summarize,

 \sin (\sin^{-1}y)=y \, \text{if} \, -1 \le y \le 1

and

\sin^{-1}( \sin x)=x \, \text{if} \, -\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \frac{\pi}{2}.

Similarly, for the cosine function,

 \cos (\cos^{-1}y)=y \, \text{if} \, -1 \le y \le 1

and

\cos^{-1}( \cos x)=x \, \text{if} 0 \le x \le \pi.

Similar properties hold for the other trigonometric functions and their inverses.

Evaluating Expressions Involving Inverse Trigonometric Functions

The Maximum Value of a Function

In many areas of science, engineering, and mathematics, it is useful to know the maximum value a function can obtain, even if we don't know its exact value at a given instant. For instance, if we have a function describing the strength of a roof beam, we would want to know the maximum weight the beam can support without breaking. If we have a function that describes the speed of a train, we would want to know its maximum speed before it jumps off the rails. Safe design often depends on knowing maximum values.

This project describes a simple example of a function with a maximum value that depends on two equation coefficients. We will see that maximum values can depend on several factors other than the independent variable x.

  1. Consider the graph in (Figure) of the function y= \sin x + \cos x. Describe its overall shape. Is it periodic? How do you know?

    Using a graphing calculator or other graphing device, estimate the x– and y-values of the maximum point for the graph (the first such point where x>0). It may be helpful to express the x-value as a multiple of \pi.

  2. Now consider other graphs of the form y=A \sin x + B \cos x for various values of A and B. Sketch the graph when A = 2 and B = 1, and find the x– and y-values for the maximum point. (Remember to express the x-value as a multiple of \pi, if possible.) Has it moved?
  3. Repeat for A = 1, \, B = 2. Is there any relationship to what you found in part (2)?
  4. Complete the following table, adding a few choices of your own for A and B:
    A B x y A B x y
    0 1 \sqrt{3} 1
    1 0 1 \sqrt{3}
    1 1 12 5
    1 2 5 12
    2 1
    2 2
    3 4
    4 3
  5. Try to figure out the formula for the y-values.
  6. The formula for the x-values is a little harder. The most helpful points from the table are (1,1), \, (1,\sqrt{3}), \, (\sqrt{3},1). (Hint: Consider inverse trigonometric functions.)
  7. If you found formulas for parts (5) and (6), show that they work together. That is, substitute the x-value formula you found into y=A \sin x + B \cos x and simplify it to arrive at the y-value formula you found.
