why inverse(sin(-x)) equivalent with -(inverse(sin(x)))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because both the inside function and the outside one are odd

OpenStudy (ash2326):

\[\sin^{-1} (-x)=-\sin^{-1} x\] because \(\sin^{-1} x\) is an odd function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please tell me, what do you mean they both odd function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sin(-x)=-\sin(x)\] and \[\sin^{-1}(-x)=-\sin{-1}(x)\] therefore \[\sin^{-1}(\sin(-x))=\sin^{-1}(-sin(x))=-\sin^{-1}(\sin(x))\]

OpenStudy (ash2326):

if f(-x)=-f(x) then the function is odd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

definition : \[f \text { is odd if } \f(-x)=-f(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks , tan is odd function to right?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

yeah tan x is odd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, what about cos?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

cos x is even \[cos (x)=cos(-x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I see what do you mean. interesting..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about cos\[\sec ^{-1}(-x)=\pi+\sec^(-1)\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

it may help you give you an idea what that mean graphically with some examples Even functions: y=x^2 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot%20y%3Dx%5E2&t=crmtb01 y=x^2-x^4 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot+y%3Dx%5E2-x%5E4 y=cos x http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot+y%3Dcos+x notice they are all symmetric about x=0. this is a direct result of the fact that \[f(-x)=f(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sec^−1(−x)=π+\sec ^{-1}\]
