How do you evaluate arcsin 1? Trigonometry Inverse Trigonometric Functions Basic Inverse Trigonometric Functions 1 Answer Alan P. Sep 7, 2015 arcsin(1) = pi/2 Explanation: arcsin is defined as having a range restricted to [-pi/2,+pi/2] If arcsin(1) = theta color(white)("XX")rarrcolor(white)("XX")sin(theta)=1 That is for theta in [-pi/2,+pi/2] with a unit circle, the ratio of the opposite side (y-coordinate) to the hypotenuse must be =1 The only angle meeting this requirement is theta= pi/2 Answer link Related questions What are the Basic Inverse Trigonometric Functions?
