Class 12 Maths · Inverse Trigonometric Functions · Short Answer #56

Draw \(y=\sin^{-1}x\) for \(x\in[-1/\sqrt2,1/\sqrt2]\), and state its range.
y=arcsin x for −1/√2≤x≤1/√2, with range [−π/4,π/4]. Both endpoints are closed.
y=arcsin x for −1/√2≤x≤1/√2, with range [−π/4,π/4]. Both endpoints are closed.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: [−π/4,π/4]
  1. The endpoint values are arcsin(−1/√2)=−π/4 and arcsin(1/√2)=π/4.
  2. Arcsine is continuous and strictly increasing; draw its curve through the origin between these endpoints, both closed. The attached SVG plots the restricted curve.
  3. The range is [−π/4,π/4].
