 Page 4 / 15

Evaluating compositions of the form f ( f−1 ( y )) and f−1 ( f ( x ))

For any trigonometric function, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left({f}^{-1}\left(y\right)\right)=y\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ for all $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ in the proper domain for the given function. This follows from the definition of the inverse and from the fact that the range of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ was defined to be identical to the domain of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{f}^{-1}.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ However, we have to be a little more careful with expressions of the form $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{f}^{-1}\left(f\left(x\right)\right).$

Compositions of a trigonometric function and its inverse

$\begin{array}{l}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{sin}\left({\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}x\right)=x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{for}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}-1\le x\le 1\hfill \\ \mathrm{cos}\left({\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}x\right)=x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{for}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}-1\le x\le 1\hfill \\ \text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{tan}\left({\mathrm{tan}}^{-1}x\right)=x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{for}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}-\infty

Is it correct that $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\right)=x?$

No. This equation is correct if $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ belongs to the restricted domain $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left[-\frac{\pi }{2},\frac{\pi }{2}\right],\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ but sine is defined for all real input values, and for $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ outside the restricted interval, the equation is not correct because its inverse always returns a value in $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left[-\frac{\pi }{2},\frac{\pi }{2}\right].\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ The situation is similar for cosine and tangent and their inverses. For example, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{sin}\left(\frac{3\pi }{4}\right)\right)=\frac{\pi }{4}.$

Given an expression of the form f −1 (f(θ)) where evaluate.

1. If $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\theta \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ is in the restricted domain of
2. If not, then find an angle $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\varphi \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ within the restricted domain of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ such that $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}f\left(\varphi \right)=f\left(\theta \right).\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ Then $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{f}^{-1}\left(f\left(\theta \right)\right)=\varphi .$

Using inverse trigonometric functions

Evaluate the following:

1. ${\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{sin}\left(\frac{\pi }{3}\right)\right)$
2. ${\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{sin}\left(\frac{2\pi }{3}\right)\right)$
3. ${\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{cos}\left(\frac{2\pi }{3}\right)\right)$
4. ${\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{cos}\left(-\frac{\pi }{3}\right)\right)$
1. so $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{sin}\left(\frac{\pi }{3}\right)\right)=\frac{\pi }{3}.$
2. but $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{sin}\left(\frac{2\pi }{3}\right)=\mathrm{sin}\left(\frac{\pi }{3}\right),\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ so $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{sin}\left(\frac{2\pi }{3}\right)\right)=\frac{\pi }{3}.$
3. so $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{cos}\left(\frac{2\pi }{3}\right)\right)=\frac{2\pi }{3}.$
4. but $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{cos}\left(-\frac{\pi }{3}\right)=\mathrm{cos}\left(\frac{\pi }{3}\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ because cosine is an even function.
5. so $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{cos}\left(-\frac{\pi }{3}\right)\right)=\frac{\pi }{3}.$

Evaluate $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{tan}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{tan}\left(\frac{\pi }{8}\right)\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{and}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{tan}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{tan}\left(\frac{11\pi }{9}\right)\right).$

$\frac{\pi }{8};\frac{2\pi }{9}$

Evaluating compositions of the form f−1 ( g ( x ))

Now that we can compose a trigonometric function with its inverse, we can explore how to evaluate a composition of a trigonometric function and the inverse of another trigonometric function. We will begin with compositions of the form $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{f}^{-1}\left(g\left(x\right)\right).\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ For special values of $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x,$ we can exactly evaluate the inner function and then the outer, inverse function. However, we can find a more general approach by considering the relation between the two acute angles of a right triangle where one is $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\theta ,\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ making the other $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\frac{\pi }{2}-\theta .$ Consider the sine and cosine of each angle of the right triangle in [link] .

Because $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{cos}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\theta =\frac{b}{c}=\mathrm{sin}\left(\frac{\pi }{2}-\theta \right),\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ we have $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{cos}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\theta \right)=\frac{\pi }{2}-\theta \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ if $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}0\le \theta \le \pi .\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ If $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\theta \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ is not in this domain, then we need to find another angle that has the same cosine as $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\theta \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and does belong to the restricted domain; we then subtract this angle from $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\frac{\pi }{2}.$ Similarly, $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\theta =\frac{a}{c}=\mathrm{cos}\left(\frac{\pi }{2}-\theta \right),\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ so $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\theta \right)=\frac{\pi }{2}-\theta \text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ if $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}-\frac{\pi }{2}\le \theta \le \frac{\pi }{2}.\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ These are just the function-cofunction relationships presented in another way.

Given functions of the form $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{cos}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\right)\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ and $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\right),\text{\hspace{0.17em}}$ evaluate them.

1. If then $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{cos}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\right)=\frac{\pi }{2}-x.$
2. If then find another angle such that $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{cos}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=\mathrm{cos}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x.$
${\mathrm{sin}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{cos}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\right)=\frac{\pi }{2}-y$
3. If then $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\right)=\frac{\pi }{2}-x.$
4. If then find another angle such that $\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}y=\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x.$
${\mathrm{cos}}^{-1}\left(\mathrm{sin}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}x\right)=\frac{\pi }{2}-y$

what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.
Virgil
is Bucky paper clear?
CYNTHIA
carbon nanotubes has various application in fuel cells membrane, current research on cancer drug,and in electronics MEMS and NEMS etc
NANO
so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.
Harper
Do you know which machine is used to that process?
s.
how to fabricate graphene ink ?
for screen printed electrodes ?
SUYASH
What is lattice structure?
of graphene you mean?
Ebrahim
or in general
Ebrahim
in general
