What is the definition of the inverse sine function (sin^–1)?

Back

The inverse sine function, denoted as sin^–1(x) or arcsin(x), is the function that returns the angle whose sine is x, where x is in the range [-1, 1].

How do you solve for an angle using the inverse sine function?

Back

To solve for an angle using the inverse sine function, you use the equation x = sin^–1(opposite/hypotenuse), where 'opposite' is the length of the side opposite the angle and 'hypotenuse' is the length of the hypotenuse.

How do you solve for an angle using the inverse cosine function?

Back

To solve for an angle using the inverse cosine function, you use the equation x = cos^–1(adjacent/hypotenuse), where 'adjacent' is the length of the side adjacent to the angle and 'hypotenuse' is the length of the hypotenuse.

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

Back

For complementary angles, sin(θ) = cos(90° - θ) and cos(θ) = sin(90° - θ).
