Inverse sine and inverse hyperbolic sine
Y = asin(X) Y = asinh(X)The
asin and asinh functions operate element-wise on arrays. The functions' domains and ranges include complex values. All angles are in radians.
Y = asin(X)
returns the inverse sine (arcsine) for each element of X. For real elements of X in the domain 
, asin(X) is in the range 
. For real elements of x outside the range 
, asin(X) is complex.
Y = asinh(X)
returns the inverse hyperbolic sine for each element of X.
