About Arcsine (arcsin)
In trigonometry, the arcsine is the inverse function of the sine function. It calculates the angle whose sine is a given number.
Domain and Range
The domain (input) of arcsin(x) is [-1, 1]. The range (output) is [-90°, 90°] or [-π/2, π/2] radians.
Notation
arcsin(x) can also be written as sin⁻¹(x) or asin(x).
Common Values
- arcsin(0) = 0° (0 rad)
- arcsin(0.5) = 30° (π/6 rad)
- arcsin(1) = 90° (π/2 rad)
- arcsin(-1) = -90° (-π/2 rad)
Applications
- Finding unknown angles in right-angled triangles
- Solving trigonometric equations
- Physics and engineering calculations involving angles
