How Are Limits for Inverse Trigonometric Functions Derived?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The limits for inverse trigonometric functions, specifically for the equation 2 sin-1x, are derived through the transformation of inverse trigonometric identities into trigonometric identities. The specific intervals are defined as follows: for x ≤ -1/√2, the limit is -π - sin-1[2x√(1-x²)]; for -1/√2 ≤ x ≤ 1/√2, it is sin-1[2x√(1-x²)]; and for x ≥ 1/√2, the limit is π - sin-1[2x√(1-x²)]. This method simplifies the process of finding limits by utilizing known identities.

I don't know how will i get these Limits for inverse Trigonometric functions for eg

[tex]2 \sin^{-1}x = - \pi - sin^{-1} [2x \sqrt{1-x^2}] for x \leq -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]
=[tex]sin^{-1} [2x \sqrt{1-x^2}] -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \leq x \leq \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]
=[tex]\pi - sin^{-1} [2x \sqrt{1-x^2}] x \geq \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]


I want to know how we arrive at these values Or intervals

The easiset way, I think, to do these kinds of problems is to (reversibly) convert it from an inverse trig function identity to a trig function identity.
