arcsin
(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj]) = <ufunc 'arcsin'>¶ Inverse sine, element-wise.
Parameters: x : array_like
y-coordinate on the unit circle.
out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional
A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.
where : array_like, optional
Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone.
**kwargs
For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.
Returns: angle : ndarray
The inverse sine of each element in x, in radians and in the closed interval
[-pi/2, pi/2]
. If x is a scalar, a scalar is returned, otherwise an array.Notes
arcsin
is a multivalued function: for each x there are infinitely many numbers z such that . The convention is to return the angle z whose real part lies in [-pi/2, pi/2].For real-valued input data types, arcsin always returns real output. For each value that cannot be expressed as a real number or infinity, it yields
nan
and sets the invalid floating point error flag.For complex-valued input,
arcsin
is a complex analytic function that has, by convention, the branch cuts [-inf, -1] and [1, inf] and is continuous from above on the former and from below on the latter.The inverse sine is also known as asin or sin^{-1}.
