What is the formula for inverse sine?
In a right-angled triangle, the sine of an angle (θ) is the ratio of its opposite side to the hypotenuse. i.e., sin θ = (opposite side) / (hypotenuse). Then by the definition of inverse sine, θ = sin-1[ (opposite side) / (hypotenuse) ] .
How do you find the inverse of a sine equation?
To find the inverse of an equation such as sin x = 1/2, solve for the following statement: “x is equal to the angle whose sine is 1/2.” In trig speak, you write this statement as x = sin–1(1/2). The notation involves putting a –1 in the superscript position.
What is opposite of sine?
We know that the cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine. Since sine is the ratio of the opposite to the hypotenuse, cosecant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the opposite.
What is the inverse of Sin called?
The inverse sine function is also called the arcsine function. In addition to the inverse notation sin-1 x, the notations arcsin x and asin x are used.
What is the range of inverse sin?
The answer is –30°. With inverse sine, we select the angle on the right half of the unit circle having measure as close to zero as possible. Thus sin-1(–½) = –30° or sin–1(–½) = –π/6. In other words, the range of sin-1 is restricted to [–90°, 90°] or .
What does x represent in the inverse function?
If you have a right triangle and x is the measure of one of the other two angles then tan (x) is the ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side . For the inverse function, if you have a right triangle and A is one of the vertices where the angle is not a right angle, let x be the ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side.
How do you find the inverse?
Summary The inverse of f(x) is f-1(y) We can find an inverse by reversing the “flow diagram” Or we can find an inverse by using Algebra: Put “y” for “f(x)”, and. Solve for x We may need to restrict the domain for the function to have an inverse
