Inverse Trig Functions - Arcsine, Arccosine, Arctangent

Inverse trig functions are a core concept in trigonometry.  Specifically, they are named arcsine, arccosine, and arctangent.  We have already discussed how to find things such as the sine of 25 degrees, or cosine of 71 degrees.  However, we need to introduce a new math concept to figure out such problems as "what angle gives a sine value of 0.2?"  This is where inverse trig functions come in.
