Write each equation in the form of an inverse function.

1. B = cos a                      a = arccos(B)  ( + , for generality)

2. tan B = a                      B = arctan(a)  ( + , for generality)

3. y = tan 120                    120° =  - arctan(y)   ( think why it is so )

4. -1/2 = cos x                   x = arccos()   ( + , for generality)

5. sin 2pi/3 = square root 3/ 2    =  - arcsin()    ( think why it is so ! )

6. cos pi /3 =1/2                  = arccos()
