ASIN (N1)

• Where N1 is the sine of the angle and is from -1 to 1.

• Calci returns the arcsine (inverse sine) of a number.

• If you want to convert arcsine to the degrees, multiply it by 180/PI.

The number can be a single value or any number of values.

For example, ASIN(0.5,(-0.2),1) can give the arcsine or inversesine values for each element.

Description

ASIN(N)

Consider     N = (-0.8)    then     =ASIN((-0.8))    gives    -0.9273

• ASIN function determines the arcsine of the given number.

Examples

ASIN(N)	Value
ASIN(-0.8)	-0.9273
ASIN(1)	1.5707963267948965
ASIN(0.559)	0.5931792803038736
