Yeah, for normal inverses that technique works well. The inverse trig graphs on the other hand are much better just memorising..For example graph y = 2sin
-1 2x
To graph this find the domain and range, you do that like this:
-1<x<1 (for all inverse sine graphs)
-1<2x<1
so (-1/2)< x <(1/2)
Now to find range its just the number in front of the inverse sine multiplied by pi/2 and -pi/2, i.e.
-pi/2 < sin x < pi/2 (it doesnt matter about the coefficient of teh x here - it doesnt affect the range)
.: -pi < 2sin2x < pi
so now the graph is just inverse sine, except the domain is between -.5 and .5 while the range goes from -pi to pi
The same situation applies to inverse cos as well, except the domain is 0<x<1 . For inverse tan the domain is all real numbers, those are the easiest to draw. I reccomend getting a graphing program if your unsure, just to see how you can transform these graphs
