Function ArcSin(x)

ArcSin

ArcSin(
      x             ! (input) numerical expression
      )

Arguments

x

A scalar numerical expression in the range \([-1,1]\).

Return Value

The ArcSin function returns the arcsine of x in the range \(-\pi/2\) to \(\pi/2\) radians.

Note

  • A run-time error results if x is outside the range \([-1,1]\).

  • The function ArcSin can be used in constraints of nonlinear mathematical programs.
