Both the sine and the inverse sine (and similar trigonometric functions) are complicated to calculate. Therefore, you either look it up in a table, or use a scientific calculator. Some values, you should know by heart.
Let's try an example: sin x = 0. This asks for the inverse sine, and you can have a calculator calculate it. But you should already know that the sine of 0 is zero, so that is one solution - incidentally, the solution which a calculator gives you if you ask for inverse sine, arc-sine, or something similar (you will usually have to press a special key before the sine function, to get the inverse sine - read the instructions for your calculator).
But the sine of x is also equal to zero for an angle of 180 degrees, of 360 degrees, etc. - repeating every 180 degrees (or every pi radians).

If y varies directly with x and y equals 6 and x equals -3 find y when x equals 4?
y/x is a constant; so first of you can solve for this constant. y/x=6/-3, or y/x=-2 y/4=-2 y=-8
How do you solve csc x sin x equals cos x cot x plus?
Suppose csc(x)*sin(x) = cos(x)*cot(x) + y then, ince csc(x) = 1/sin(x), and cot(x) = cos(x)/sin(x), 1 = cos(x)*cos(x)/sin(x) + y so y = 1 - cos2(x)/sin(x) = 1 - [1 - sin2(x)]/sin(x) = [sin2(x) + sin(x) - 1]/sin(x)
How do you prove the following identity sec x - cos x equals sin x tan x?
you need this identities to solve the problem..that is something you have to memorized sec x= 1/cosx 1-cos2x= sin2x tanx= sin x/cosx also, sin 2x= (sinx)(sinx) sec x - cosx= sin x tanx (1/cosx)-cosx= sin x tanx .. 1-cos2x / cosx=sin x tanx sin2x/ cosx= sin x tanx (sin x/cox)( sin x)= sin x tanx tanx sinx= sin x tanx
Is Sin x a constant?
No, it's a function.
When you solve for x what is x plus 13 equals 22?
X +13 equals 22, X equals nine
