Problem Analysis:
The worksheet focuses on inverse trigonometric functions, their domains, ranges, and evaluations. Let's solve the problems step by step.
---
1) Give the restricted domain of the original function that we use to make the inverse into a function.
#### a) \( y = \tan x \)
- The tangent function is periodic with period \( \pi \).
- To make \( \tan^{-1} x \) (arctan) a function, we restrict the domain of \( \tan x \) to one period where it is one-to-one.
- The standard restricted domain is: \( \left( -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right) \).
#### b) \( y = \sin x \)
- The sine function is periodic with period \( 2\pi \).
- To make \( \sin^{-1} x \) (arcsin) a function, we restrict the domain of \( \sin x \) to one interval where it is one-to-one.
- The standard restricted domain is: \( \left[ -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right] \).
#### c) \( y = \cos x \)
- The cosine function is periodic with period \( 2\pi \).
- To make \( \cos^{-1} x \) (arccos) a function, we restrict the domain of \( \cos x \) to one interval where it is one-to-one.
- The standard restricted domain is: \( [0, \pi] \).
Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\text{a) } \left( -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right), \quad
\text{b) } \left[ -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right], \quad
\text{c) } [0, \pi]
}
\]

2) Graph each with labels.
#### a) \( y = \sin^{-1} x \)
- Domain: \( [-1, 1] \)
- Range: \( \left[ -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right] \)
- Key points: \( (-1, -\frac{\pi}{2}) \), \( (0, 0) \), \( (1, \frac{\pi}{2}) \)
#### b) \( y = \tan^{-1} x \)
- Domain: \( (-\infty, \infty) \)
- Range: \( \left( -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right) \)
- Key points: As \( x \to -\infty \), \( y \to -\frac{\pi}{2} \); as \( x \to \infty \), \( y \to \frac{\pi}{2} \); \( (0, 0) \)
#### c) \( y = \arccos x \)
- Domain: \( [-1, 1] \)
- Range: \( [0, \pi] \)
- Key points: \( (-1, \pi) \), \( (0, \frac{\pi}{2}) \), \( (1, 0) \)
Graphs:
- These graphs can be sketched using the above information, but since this is a text-based response, I'll describe them instead of drawing them.

3) Give the domain and range for each in interval notation.
#### a) \( y = \cos^{-1} x \)
- Domain: \( [-1, 1] \)
- Range: \( [0, \pi] \)
#### b) \( y = \arcsin x \)
- Domain: \( [-1, 1] \)
- Range: \( \left[ -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right] \)
#### c) \( y = \arctan x \)
- Domain: \( (-\infty, \infty) \)
- Range: \( \left( -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right) \)
Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\text{a) Domain: } [-1, 1], \text{ Range: } [0, \pi], \quad
\text{b) Domain: } [-1, 1], \text{ Range: } \left[ -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right], \quad
