Inverse Trigonometric Functions
The inverse trigonometric functions are as follows:
| Inverse Trigonometric Function |
Description |
| asin(x) | This function is used to compute the inverse sine. |
| acos(x) | This function is used to compute the inverse cosine. |
| atan(x) | This function is used to compute the inverse tangent. |
| asec(x) | This function is used to compute the inverse secant. |
| acsc(x) | This function is used to compute the inverse cosecant. |
| acot(x) | This function is used to compute the inverse cotangent. |
The angle returned by the inverse function would be in radians.
Examples
>> asin(0.5)
ans = 0.5236
>> % Let’s convert the answer to degrees
>> ans * (180/pi)
ans = 30.000
>> % Answer is 30 degrees
