Description: Get the arcsine of a number

Arcsin (arcsine or sin⁻¹) is the inverse trigonometric function of sine, meaning it takes a ratio (between -1 and 1) and gives you back the angle whose sine that ratio is, essentially reversing the sine function (sin(angle) = ratio) to (arcsin(ratio) = angle). It's used to find angles in right triangles and equations.
