The range of sin⁡−1x\sin^{-1}x is [−π2,π2]\left[-\dfrac{\pi}{2},\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right].

The function y=sin⁡xy=\sin x is not one-to-one over all of R\mathbb{R}, so its inverse is defined by restricting the angle to the principal branch [−π2,π2]\left[-\dfrac{\pi}{2},\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right], on which sin⁡\sin is one-to-one and takes every value in [−1,1][-1,1].

Hence:

  • Domain of sin⁡−1x\sin^{-1}x: [−1,1][-1,1] …
