About this worksheet

Inverse trig functions, and solving trigonometric equations. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can give sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹ and tan⁻¹ of a special value, inside each inverse's range.
  • I can solve sin x = k or cos x = k on one turn by finding a point and its mirror.
  • I can solve two-step, squared and factored trig equations and list every solution.

Standard: F-TF.B.6 (+), F-TF.B.7 (+)

Words to know

inverse sine (sin⁻¹): The angle from -90° to 90° with the given sine.

inverse cosine (cos⁻¹): The angle from 0° to 180° with the given cosine.

principal value: The one angle an inverse gives, inside its range.

interval: The stretch of angles allowed, like 0° ≤ x < 360°.

mirror point: The second point with the same sin (or cos), across an axis.

factor: Part of a product; a product is 0 when a factor is 0.

Common mistakes

Gave an angle outside the range an inverse trig function uses (sin⁻¹ from -90° to 90°, cos⁻¹ from 0° to 180°). Shade that half of a circle together.

Swapped sine and cosine. Say together: the point is (cos, sin), across first, then up.

Gave the angle in degrees when radians were asked. Ask which unit the question wants, and multiply by π/180.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with inverse trig functions, and solving trigonometric equations?

Gave an angle outside the range an inverse trig function uses (sin⁻¹ from -90° to 90°, cos⁻¹ from 0° to 180°). Shade that half of a circle together.
