What is the definition of the inverse sine function, sin^-1(x)?

Back

The inverse sine function, sin^-1(x), gives the angle whose sine is x, with a range of [-π/2, π/2].

Front

What is the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles?

Back

For any angle θ, sin(θ) = cos(π/2 - θ).

Front

How do you find the value of tan(sin^-1(x))?

Back

To find tan(sin^-1(x)), use the identity tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ) where θ = sin^-1(x).
