To calculate the arcsine of an angle in MATLAB, you need to use the asin
function. This function returns the inverse sine (in radians) of a given angle. Here's the syntax:
main.m12 chars2 lines
where x
is the angle in radians and y
is the corresponding arcsine value in radians.
For example, to find the arcsine of 0.5 radians, you can use the following code:
main.m22 chars3 lines
The value of y
will be approximately 0.5236 radians, which is equivalent to 30 degrees.
Note that the asin
function only works with values between -1 and 1, inclusive. If you pass in a value outside of this range, MATLAB will return a complex NaN (not a number) value.
