Time Narration
00:01 Welcome to this tutorial on Inverse Trigonometric Functions.
00:06 In this tutorial, we will learn to use GeoGebra to
00:11 Plot graphs of inverse trigonometric functions
00:15 Compare them to graphs of trigonometric functions
00:19 Create check-boxes to group and show or hide functions
00:24 To follow this tutorial, you should be familiar with:
00:28 GeoGebra interface
00:31 Trigonometry
00:33 For relevant tutorials, please visit our website.
00:37 Here I am using:

Ubuntu Linux OS version 14.04

GeoGebra 5.0.388.0 hyphen d

00:51 I have already opened the GeoGebra interface.
00:56 Now let us change x Axis units to radians.
01:01 In Graphics view, double-click on the x axis and then on Object Properties.
01:08 In the Object Properties menu, click on Preferences Graphics and then on xAxis.
01:17 Check the Distance option, select pi divided by 2 and then the Ticks first option.
01:28 Close the Preferences box.
01:31 Units of x-axis are in radians with interval of pi divided by 2 as shown.
01:38 GeoGebra will convert degrees of angle alpha to radians.
01:44 Note that the name appears when you place the mouse over any tool icon in the toolbar.
01:52 In the Graphics toolbar, click on Slider and then in the top of Graphics view.
02:01 A slider dialog-box appears.
02:04 By default, Number radio button is selected.
02:08 In the Name field, select theta from the Symbol menu.
02:14 Type the Min value as minus 360 and Max plus 360 with Increment 1.

Click OK.

02:27 This creates a number slider theta from minus 360 to plus 360.
02:34 In the input bar, type alpha is equal to theta divided by 180 in parentheses, and then pi.
02:47 Note how GeoGebra inserts a space between the right parenthesis and pi for multiplication.

Press Enter.

02:57 Drag slider theta to minus 360 and then back to 360.
03:04 In Algebra view, observe how alpha changes from minus 2pi to 2pi radians as you change theta.
03:13 Drag slider theta back to minus 360.
03:18 In the input bar, type the following command:
03:22 f underscore S colon is equal to Function with capital F
03:29 Type the following words in square brackets.

sin, x in parentheses, comma minus 2 pi comma alpha.

03:42 Press Enter.
03:44 Drag the boundary to see Algebra view properly.
03:49 Here, fS defines the sine function of x.
03:54 x is between -2 pi and alpha which can take a maximum value of 2pi.
04:03 This is called the domain of the function.
04:08 Drag the boundary to see Graphics View properly.
04:13 Drag slider theta from minus 360 to 360.
04:19 This graphs the sine function of x.
04:23 In the toolbar, click on the bottom right triangle of the last button.
04:29 Note that this button is called Move Graphics View.
04:34 In the menu that appears, click on Zoom Out.
04:39 Click in Graphics view to see 2 pi radians on either side of the origin.
04:47 Again, click on Move Graphics View and drag the background to see the graph properly.
04:56 Drag slider theta back to minus 360.
05:01 Inverse Trigonometric Functions
05:04 For example, If inverse sine of z also known as arcsin of z is w.

Then, z is sin w.

05:15 w can have multiple values.

So a principal value has to be defined and the domain has to be restricted.

05:23 To get the inverse function graph, interchange x and y axes.
05:29 Next, change curvature of trigonometric function graph.
05:34 You can pause and refer to the example in the additional material provided for this tutorial.
05:41 Let us go back to the GeoGebra window.
05:45 In the input bar, type the following command:

i underscore S colon is equal to Function with capital F

05:56 Type the following words in square brackets.

a sin, x in parentheses, comma minus 1 comma 1

06:06 Press Enter.
06:08 Drag the boundary to see Algebra view properly.
06:12 This graphs the inverse sine (or arc sine) function of x.
06:18 Note that x and y axes are interchanged for this inverse sine function.
06:25 Its domain set of x values lies between minus 1 and 1.

Observe the graph.

06:34 Drag the boundary to see Graphics view properly.
06:39 In the input bar, type the following command:

P underscore S colon is equal to Type the following words in parentheses sin alpha in parentheses comma alpha. Press Enter.

06:58 This creates point PS on the inverse sine graph.
07:04 On the sine function graph, PS would be alpha comma sine alpha.
07:10 In Algebra view, right-click on PS, check the Trace On option.
07:17 Drag slider theta to 360.
07:21 Traces appear for the inverse sine function graph for alpha.
07:26s fs also appears in Graphics view.
07:30 Compare iS and traces of PS.
07:35 Note that the domain for the graph that PS traces is not restricted from minus 1 to 1.
07:43 Drag slider theta back to minus 360.
07:47 Click and drag the background in Graphics view to erase traces of PS.
07:53 In Algebra view, uncheck fS, iS, and PS to hide them.
08:02 Cosine and Inverse Cosine Functions
08:06 Follow the steps shown for SINE to graph the cosine function fC.
08:12 Its domain should be from minus 2 pi to alpha.
08:17 Graph the inverse cosine function iC" in the domain from minus 1 to 1.
08:24 Create a point PC whose co-ordinates are cos alpha comma alpha.
08:30 The domain of the inverse cosine graph that PC traces will go beyond minus 1 and 1.
08:37 The cosine and inverse cosine functions should look like this.
08:46 In Algebra view, uncheck fC, iC and PC and move the background to erase traces of PC.
08:58 Drag slider theta back to minus 360.
09:03 Tangent and Inverse Tangent Functions
09:07 Now graph the tangent function fT.
09:11 Its domain should also be from minus 2 pi to alpha.
09:16 We will look at the graph for the inverse tangent function iT.
09:21 Its domain will be from minus infinity to infinity.
09:26 Create a point PT whose co-ordinates are tan alpha comma alpha.
09:32 The domain of the inverse tangent graph that PT traces will go beyond minus 1 and 1.
09:39 Let us look at the inverse tangent function graph in the domain from minus 1 to 1.
09:45 To type infinity, click in the input bar and on symbol alpha appearing at the right end of the bar.
09:53 In the symbol menu, click on the infinity symbol in the third row and third column from the right.
10:01 In the input bar, type the following command:

i underscore T colon is equal to Function with capital F

10:12 Type the following words in square brackets atan, x in parentheses, comma minus infinity comma infinity. Press Enter.
10:26 This graphs the inverse tangent function of x.
10:31 x lies between minus infinity and infinity.

Observe the graph.

10:39 Drag slider theta to 360.
10:43 Compare traces of PT and iT.
10:48 Drag slider theta back to minus 360.
10:53 Drag the background slightly to the erase the traces of PT
10:58 In Algebra view, uncheck fT and PT.
11:04 In Algebra view, check fS, iS, and PS to show them again.
11:14 Let us create check boxes to make it easier to group and see different functions at a time.
11:21 Under Slider, click on Check-box.
11:25 Click on the top of the grid in Graphics view.
11:29 ACheck-Box to Show/Hide Objects dialog-box appears.
11:35 In the Caption field, type SIN.
11:38 Click on Objects drop-down menu to select fS, iS and PS, one by one, click Apply.
11:50 A check-box SIN is created in Graphics view.
11:55 It gives us the option to display or hide sine, arcsine graphs and point PS.
12:02 Again, click on Check Box.
12:05 Click on the top of the grid in Graphics view.
12:09 A Checkbox to Show/Hide Objects dialog-box appears.
12:14 In the Caption field, type TAN.
12:16 Click on Objects drop-down menu to select fT, iT and PT, one by one, click Apply.
12:29 A checkbox TAN is created in Graphics view.
12:33 It gives us the option to display or hide tangent, arctangent graphs and point PT.
12:40 In the toolbar, click on the first Move button and uncheck all boxes.
12:48 Check the SIN box.
12:51 Drag slider theta to 360.
12:55 Observe fS, iS and traces of PS appear in Graphics view.
13:03 Uncheck the SIN box.
