  2. Inverse trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_trigonometric...

    The most common convention is to name inverse trigonometric functions using an arc- prefix: arcsin(x), arccos(x), arctan(x), etc. [1] (This convention is used throughout this article.) This notation arises from the following geometric relationships: [ citation needed ] when measuring in radians, an angle of θ radians will correspond to an arc ...

    where is the k th-degree elementary symmetric polynomial in the n variables = ⁡, =, …,, and the number of terms in the denominator and the number of factors in the product in the numerator depend on the number of terms in the sum on the left. [16]

  4. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    Basis of trigonometry: if two right triangles have equal acute angles, they are similar, so their corresponding side lengths are proportional.. In mathematics, the trigonometric functions (also called circular functions, angle functions or goniometric functions) [1] are real functions which relate an angle of a right-angled triangle to ratios of two side lengths.

  5. Tan-1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tan-1

    Tan-1, TAN-1, tan-1, or tan −1 may refer to: tan −1 y = tan −1 ( x ), sometimes interpreted as arctan( x ) or arctangent of x , the compositional inverse of the trigonometric function tangent (see below for ambiguity)

    For the sine function, we can handle other values. If θ > π /2, then θ > 1. But sin θ ≤ 1 (because of the Pythagorean identity), so sin θ < θ. So we have ⁡ < <. For negative values of θ we have, by the symmetry of the sine function
