    What is arcsin(−4/5)?

    Answer

    arcsin(−4/5) ≈
    −53.1301° ≈ −0.9273 rad

    Range: arcsin x is an angle from −90° to 90°, so the answer is unique.

    ≈ — the value is not a table one; rounded to 4 decimal places.

    −4/5 = −0.8.

    arcsin(−4/5) is the angle α in [−90°, 90°] with sin α = −4/5.

    arcsin(−4/5) = −arcsin(4/5) ≈ −53.1301°

    sin(−53.1301°) ≈ −0.8000

    xyOP

    α = arcsin(−4/5) ≈ −53.1301°

    P = (0.6, −0.8)

    P lies on the line y = −4/5 in the right half of the circle, where cos α ≥ 0; highlighted: sin α = −4/5.

    FAQ

    What is arcsin(−4/5)?

    arcsin(−4/5) ≈ −53.1301° ≈ −0.9273 rad

    Why is arcsin(−4/5) ≈ −53.1301°?

    arcsin is an odd function: arcsin(−x) = −arcsin x. So arcsin(−4/5) = −arcsin(4/5) ≈ −53.1301°, and this angle lies in the range [−90°, 90°].

    Why does a calculator show −0.9273 for arcsin(−4/5)?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD) and gives the angle in radians: arcsin(−4/5) ≈ −0.9273 rad. In degrees (DEG) it is ≈ −53.1301°.
