ASIN

Returns the arc sine of an expression that represents a numerical value. ASIN is defined only when the absolute value of the expression is <1. The range of ASIN is (that is, ).

Format

ASIN(x)

Argument

 
x
Any valid expression that evaluates to a real number.

Example

The following function calculates the value of the expression:
DX(marker_21, marker_11) / DM(marker_21, marker_11)
and then applies the ASIN function to the result and returns its arc sine in radians:
ASIN(DX(marker_21, marker_11) / DM(marker_21, marker_11))
