Frequently asked questions

Why must the value be between -1 and 1?

Sine's output never leaves that range, so arcsin has no answer outside it.

What does arcsin return?

The angle (in your chosen unit) whose sine equals the value you entered.

What is arcsin(0)?

0°.

What is arcsin(1)?

90° (or π/2 radians), the maximum.
