![]() | This article is complete as far as it goes, but it could do with expansion. In particular: Expand for $\sin^{-1}$ on complex plane, include this as a corollary You can help $\mathsf{Pr} \infty \mathsf{fWiki}$ by adding this information.

Theorem
Everywhere that the function is defined:
- $\map \arcsin {-x} = -\arcsin x$
