I'm learning physics, and I'm reviewing over the trig part of the chapter. My professor does not allow us to use calculators. I'm looking at the inverse of the trig functions. What I don't understand is : it says that the reciprocal does not equal the inverse. like tan -1 does not equal 1/tan...

take any number, for example X and try and square it... first let Y = X rounded up the nearest power, not multiple, of 10 [ X - (Y - X) ] * Y + (Y - X)^2 = X^2 it should work every time... let X = 998 [ 998 - (1000 - 998) ] * 1000 + (1000 - 998)^2 [ 998 - 2 ] * 1000 + 2^2...
