An inverse trigonometry functions are that functions in which inverse functions are used in trigonometry. Trigonometry functions are sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant.
Principal ValueThe value of an inverse trigonometric functions which lies in the range of principal branch is called the principal value of that inverse trigonometric functions.
