Inverse trig functions

How do I do cos^-1?  I don't see one in the

([abs v] of ())
block dropdown.  However, I see cos.

Also, an explanation of how to create sin^-1 and tan^-1 would be nice.

Re: Inverse trig functions

here:

([asin v] of ())
([acos v] of ())
([atan v] of ())
These stand for arcsine, arccosine, and arctangent respectively, and are the inverse functions you are looking for.

Re: Inverse trig functions

Bump

I mean the inverse sine, like when you hit shift+sin on a calculator.  I'm checking something, though, one sec...

Thanks for the help!

well, you can just use 1/sinx then.

Re: Inverse trig functions

Acos is cos^-1, asin is sin^-1, and atan is tan^-1.

Wouldn't that just be csc?
