| 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. |

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. |
