  2. Inverse trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Inverse_trigonometric_functions

    The notations sin −1 (x), cos −1 (x), tan −1 (x), etc., as introduced by John Herschel in 1813, [7] [8] are often used as well in English-language sources, [1] much more than the also established sin [−1] (x), cos [−1] (x), tan [−1] (x) – conventions consistent with the notation of an inverse function, that is useful (for example ...

    The half-angle formula for sine can be obtained by replacing with / and taking the square-root of both sides: ⁡ (/) = (⁡) /. Note that this figure also illustrates, in the vertical line segment E B ¯ {\displaystyle {\overline {EB}}} , that sin2 θ = 2 sin ⁡ θ cos ⁡ θ {\displaystyle \sin 2\theta =2\sin \theta \cos \theta } .

  4. Inverse function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_function

    The arcsine is a partial inverse of the sine function. These considerations are particularly important for defining the inverses of trigonometric functions. For example, the sine function is not one-to-one, since ⁡ (+) = ⁡ for every real x (and more generally sin(x + 2 π n) = sin(x) for every integer n).

    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. Sine and cosine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_and_cosine

    In mathematics, sine and cosine are trigonometric functions of an angle.The sine and cosine of an acute angle are defined in the context of a right triangle: for the specified angle, its sine is the ratio of the length of the side that is opposite that angle to the length of the longest side of the triangle (the hypotenuse), and the cosine is the ratio of the length of the adjacent leg to that ...

  8. Small-angle approximation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-angle_approximation

    Approximately equal behavior of some (trigonometric) functions for x → 0. For small angles, the trigonometric functions sine, cosine, and tangent can be calculated with reasonable accuracy by the following simple approximations:

  9. Trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions

    If units of degrees are intended, the degree sign must be explicitly shown (sin x°, cos x°, etc.). Using this standard notation, the argument x for the trigonometric functions satisfies the relationship x = (180x/ π)°, so that, for example, sin π = sin 180° when we take x = π.
