    A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.

  3. Inverse trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    [1] [10] Another precarious convention used by a small number of authors is to use an uppercase first letter, along with a “ −1 ” superscript: Sin −1 (x), Cos −1 (x), Tan −1 (x), etc. [11] Although it is intended to avoid confusion with the reciprocal, which should be represented by sin −1 (x), cos −1 (x), etc., or, better, by ...

  4. List of integrals of inverse trigonometric functions - Wikipedia

    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.

  5. Arcsine distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcsine_distribution

    [1] [2] The arcsine probability density is a distribution that appears in several random-walk fundamental theorems. In a fair coin toss random walk , the probability for the time of the last visit to the origin is distributed as an (U-shaped) arcsine distribution .

    Alternatively, notice that whenever θ has a value such that l sin θ ≤ t, that is, in the range 0 ≤ θ ≤ arcsin ⁠ t / l ⁠, the probability of crossing is the same as in the short needle case. However if l sin θ > t, that is, arcsin ⁠ t / l ⁠ < θ ≤ ⁠ π / 2 ⁠ the probability is constant and is equal to 1.

  7. Elementary function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_function

    In mathematics, an elementary function is a function of a single variable (typically real or complex) that is defined as taking sums, products, roots and compositions of finitely many polynomial, rational, trigonometric, hyperbolic, and exponential functions, and their inverses (e.g., arcsin, log, or x 1/n).

  8. Arcsine laws (Wiener process) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcsine_laws_(Wiener_process)

    The third arcsine law states that the time at which a Wiener process achieves its maximum is arcsine distributed. The statement of the law relies on the fact that the Wiener process has an almost surely unique maxima, [1] and so we can define the random variable M which is the time at which the maxima is achieved. i.e. the unique M such that

    Illustration of the sum formula. Draw a horizontal line (the x -axis); mark an origin O. Draw a line from O at an angle α {\displaystyle \alpha } above the horizontal line and a second line at an angle β {\displaystyle \beta } above that; the angle between the second line and the x -axis is α + β . {\displaystyle \alpha +\beta .}
