  2. Inverse trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Inverse_trigonometric_functions

    Similar to the sine and cosine functions, the inverse trigonometric functions can also be calculated using power series, as follows. For arcsine, the series can be derived by expanding its derivative, 1 1 − z 2 {\textstyle {\tfrac {1}{\sqrt {1-z^{2}}}}} , as a binomial series , and integrating term by term (using the integral definition as ...

  3. Inverse function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function

    The notation might be used for the inverse function to avoid ambiguity with the multiplicative inverse. [7] In keeping with the general notation, some English authors use expressions like sin −1 (x) to denote the inverse of the sine function applied to x (actually a partial inverse; see below).

    These identities are useful whenever expressions involving trigonometric functions need to be simplified. An important application is the integration of non-trigonometric functions: a common technique involves first using the substitution rule with a trigonometric function, and then simplifying the resulting integral with a trigonometric identity.

  5. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    When this notation is used, inverse functions could be confused with multiplicative inverses. The notation with the "arc" prefix avoids such a confusion, though "arcsec" for arcsecant can be confused with "arcsecond". Just like the sine and cosine, the inverse trigonometric functions can also be expressed in terms of infinite series.

  6. List of integrals of inverse trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_integrals_of...

    There are three common notations for inverse trigonometric functions. The arcsine function, for instance, could be written as sin −1, asin, or, as is used on this page, arcsin. For each inverse trigonometric integration formula below there is a corresponding formula in the list of integrals of inverse hyperbolic functions.

  7. Proofs of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proofs_of_trigonometric...

    This geometric argument relies on definitions of arc length and area, which act as assumptions, so it is rather a condition imposed in construction of trigonometric functions than a provable property. [2] 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 ...

  8. List of integrals of trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    Generally, if the function ⁡ is any trigonometric function, and ⁡ is its derivative, ∫ a cos ⁡ n x d x = a n sin ⁡ n x + C {\displaystyle \int a\cos nx\,dx={\frac {a}{n}}\sin nx+C} In all formulas the constant a is assumed to be nonzero, and C denotes the constant of integration .

  9. Versine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versine

    The versine or versed sine is a trigonometric function found in some of the earliest (Sanskrit Aryabhatia, [1] Section I) trigonometric tables. The versine of an angle is 1 minus its cosine. There are several related functions, most notably the coversine and haversine.
