Sine rotated by 90°

[Shadow]

Hey all,

 

I was wondering the other day, if you rotate the plot of [math]y=x^2[/math] 90° CW, you get [math]y^2=x[/math]. What happens when you do the same with [math]sin(x)[/math]? In other words, which function looks like this:

 

 

Cheers,

 

Gabe

x=sin(y)...

[Kyrisch]

y = arcsine x

 

Arcsine has a restricted domain, however, as a boundless domain would cause the function to fail the vertical line test.

x=sin(y)...

 

Now why didn't that occur to me. Thanks again Klaynos!
