Principal value branch

In this Class 12 Mathematics topic from Inverse Trigonometric Functions, students learn why trigonometric functions must be restricted to suitable domains to have well-defined inverses. The topic explains the principal value branch, standard ranges of sin⁻¹x, cos⁻¹x, tan⁻¹x and related functions, and how these ranges determine the unique value returned by an inverse function. Students also practise interpreting graphs, selecting correct branches, and applying principal-value conventions while simplifying expressions and solving problems.
