Complex.Asin(Complex) Method

Definition

Returns the angle that is the arc sine of the specified complex number.

C#
public static System.Numerics.Complex Asin(System.Numerics.Complex value);

Parameters

value
Complex

A complex number.

Returns

The angle which is the arc sine of value.

Examples

The following example illustrates the Asin method. It shows that passing the value returned by the Asin method to the Sin method returns the original Complex value.

C#
using System;
using System.Numerics;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Complex[] values = { new Complex(2.3, 1.4),
                           new Complex(-2.3, 1.4),
                           new Complex(-2.3, -1.4),
                           new Complex(2.3, -1.4) };
      foreach (Complex value in values)
         Console.WriteLine("Sin(Asin({0})) = {1}",
                            value, Complex.Sin(Complex.Asin(value)));
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Sin(Asin((2.3, 1.4))) = (2.3, 1.4)
//       Sin(Asin((-2.3, 1.4))) = (-2.3, 1.4)
//       Sin(Asin((-2.3, -1.4))) = (-2.3, -1.4)
//       Sin(Asin((2.3, -1.4))) = (2.3, -1.4)

Remarks

The Asin method for complex numbers corresponds to the Math.Asin method for real numbers.

The Asin method uses the following formula:

-ImaginaryOne * Log(ImaginaryOne * value + Sqrt(One - value * value))
