However, on each interval on which a trigonometric function is monotonic, one can define an inverse function, and this defines inverse trigonometric functions as multivalued functions. I tried to find the series of this function, but when i plot up to 50 terms with wolfram, it doesnt resemble the function so i guess i made a mistake finding the fourier series.
In this unit we examine these functions and their graphs. We shall have occasion, however, to refer to the argument of the cosine, which in this case is 2x loosely stated, the argument of a trigonometric function is the expression inside the function.
