Hi guys so I had a quick question

When you use newtons method, I know you change ur calculator to rad form for trig functions
But does the same apply for inverse trig.
Thank you !!!


And when else do u use rad form?

Well it depends what mode you want your answer in, if you want it in radians leave on radians mode, if you want it in degrees put it in degrees.

I had to switch it like 3 times in my maths test today.

So yeahh just be aware of every question.

Inverse trig tends to be in terms of pi, so radians would be better.

To correct the previous answer, ALL inverse trig functions are defined in terms of radians. You either need your calculator in radian mode, or you need to convert to radians manually.
