Write each equation in the form of an inverse function.

1. B = cos a                      a = arccos(B)  ( + 2k%2Api, for generality)

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

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

4. -1/2 = cos x                   x = arccos(-1%2F2)   ( + 2k%2Api, for generality)

5. sin 2pi/3 = square root 3/ 2   2pi%2F3 = pi - arcsin(sqrt%283%29%2F2)    ( think why it is so ! )

6. cos pi /3 =1/2                 pi%2F3 = arccos(1%2F2)
