numpy.arcsin(x, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj]) = <ufunc 'arcsin'>
Inverse sine, element-wise.
Parameters: |
x : array_like
out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or where : array_like, optional Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone. **kwargs For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs. |

Returns: |
angle : ndarray The inverse sine of each element in |
arcsin
is a multivalued function: for each x
there are infinitely many numbers z
such that . The convention is to return the angle z
whose real part lies in [-pi/2, pi/2].
For real-valued input data types, arcsin always returns real output. For each value that cannot be expressed as a real number or infinity, it yields nan
and sets the invalid
floating point error flag.
For complex-valued input, arcsin
is a complex analytic function that has, by convention, the branch cuts [-inf, -1] and [1, inf] and is continuous from above on the former and from below on the latter.
The inverse sine is also known as asin
or sin^{-1}.
