The arcsine function is a trigonometric arcfunction that is the inverse of the sine function. As we have discussed in class, there are a number of functions that your calculator or computer will perform which, under the hood, are actually determined by adding terms from a series. This is the case with the arcsine function. The series that defines the arcsine function is as follows: arcsin(x) = ∑ (2n)! (2 n n!)2 x 2n + 1
However, there is a catch to this series. It will only work for inputs between (and including) −1 and 1.
(Recall that the output of the sine function is never greater than 1 or less than −1. Therefore, the inputs to
the inverse function (arcsine) can never be outside that region, either. In other words, if you were to input
an x greater than 1 or less than −1, you would likely find a diverging series.
Write a MATLAB code that:
1. Prompts the user for an input value x;
2. Prompts the user for the number of digits of accuracy desired in the output;
3. Calculates the arcsine of the value x to the level of accuracy specified.
4. Outputs a message to the user stating the calculated value
