Question Number 157974 by yeti123 last updated on 30/Oct/21

which one do you prefer?    sin^(−1) (x)       or       arcsin(x)

$$\mathrm{which}\:\mathrm{one}\:\mathrm{do}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{prefer}? \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\mathrm{sin}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left({x}\right)\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{or}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{arcsin}\left({x}\right) \\ $$

 sin^(−1) (x) = arcsin(x)   i don′t understand your problem..

$$\:{sin}^{−\mathrm{1}} \left({x}\right)\:=\:{arcsin}\left({x}\right)\: \\ $$$${i}\:{don}'{t}\:{understand}\:{your}\:{problem}.. \\ $$

I prefer arcsin (x) because sin^2  (x) =(sin x)^2   but sin^(−1)  (x) ≠ (sin (x))^(−1)  which is confusing.  what is sin^(−2)  (x) ?

$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{prefer}\:\mathrm{arcsin}\:\left({x}\right)\:\mathrm{because}\:\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\left({x}\right)\:=\left(\mathrm{sin}\:{x}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{but}\:\mathrm{sin}^{−\mathrm{1}} \:\left({x}\right)\:\neq\:\left(\mathrm{sin}\:\left({x}\right)\right)^{−\mathrm{1}} \:\mathrm{which}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{confusing}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{what}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{sin}^{−\mathrm{2}} \:\left({x}\right)\:? \\ $$

sin^(−2) (x)= csc^2 (x)

$$\mathrm{sin}\:^{−\mathrm{2}} \left({x}\right)=\:{csc}^{\mathrm{2}} \left({x}\right) \\ $$

u^(−2) =v^2  ⇒ u^(−1) =±v    sin^(−2)  (x) =csc^2  (x)  ⇒  sin^(−1)  (x) =±csc (x)  there you have it...

$${u}^{−\mathrm{2}} ={v}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\Rightarrow\:{u}^{−\mathrm{1}} =\pm{v} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$\mathrm{sin}^{−\mathrm{2}} \:\left({x}\right)\:=\mathrm{csc}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\left({x}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{sin}^{−\mathrm{1}} \:\left({x}\right)\:=\pm\mathrm{csc}\:\left({x}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{there}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{have}\:\mathrm{it}... \\ $$
