FAQs on Inverse Trigonometric Functions: JEE Mains Previous Year Questions (2021-2024) - Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced

1. What are the basic properties of inverse trigonometric functions?
Ans. The basic properties of inverse trigonometric functions include the principal value branches, range, domain, and periodicity of functions such as sin$^{-1}x$, cos$^{-1}x$, and tan$^{-1}x$.
2. How do we find the derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions?
Ans. To find the derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions, we can use the chain rule and the known derivatives of trigonometric functions. For example, the derivative of sin$^{-1}x$ is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$.
3. What are some common identities involving inverse trigonometric functions?
Ans. Some common identities involving inverse trigonometric functions include sin(sin$^{-1}x) = x$, cos(cos$^{-1}x) = x$, and tan(tan$^{-1}x) = x$. These identities help simplify expressions involving inverse trigonometric functions.
4. How do we solve equations involving inverse trigonometric functions?
Ans. To solve equations involving inverse trigonometric functions, we can apply the properties and identities of these functions. We can also use trigonometric identities to simplify the expressions and find the solutions.
5. Can inverse trigonometric functions be used to find angles in a triangle?
Ans. Yes, inverse trigonometric functions can be used to find angles in a triangle. By using the properties of inverse trigonometric functions, we can determine unknown angles in a triangle based on the given sides or angles.
