Answer

(a) $[-1,1] , [-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}]$. (b) $[-1,1] , [0, \pi]$. (c) $R , [-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}]$.

Work Step by Step

The sine, cosine, and tangent functions are one-to one only on the restricted domains thus their inverse functions have a closed range as following- (a) The function $\sin^{-1}$ has domain $[-1,1]$ and range $[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}]$. (b) The function $\cos^{-1}$ has domain $[-1,1]$ and range $[0, \pi]$. (c) The function $\tan^{-1}$ has domain $R$ and range $[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}]$
