How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
Principal inverse sine and inverse cosine
Definition
Sine is differentiable, hence continuous, and strictly increasing on ; its endpoint values are and (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, A function differentiable at is continuous at , Signs, monotonicity intervals, and ranges of sine and cosine, Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi, Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine). The intermediate value theorem therefore makes its restricted image exactly (Intermediate value theorem, by bisection with a canonical left-half rule: a continuous function on takes every value between and ). Likewise, cosine is continuous and strictly decreasing on , with endpoint values and , so its restricted image is (Signs, monotonicity intervals, and ranges of sine and cosine, The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, A function differentiable at is continuous at , Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi, Intermediate value theorem, by bisection with a canonical left-half rule: a continuous function on takes every value between and ). Their principal inverses are denoted
and are characterised by
The chosen target intervals are part of the notation: without them, inverse sine and inverse cosine would be multivalued relations rather than functions. Their continuity follows from Continuous inverse theorem: a continuous injective on an interval is a bijection onto the order-convex set , and the inverse is continuous and strictly monotone in the same sense as .
Depends on
- Signs, monotonicity intervals, and ranges of sine and cosine
- The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine
- A function differentiable at $c$ is continuous at $c$
- Quarter-turn values and shifts by pi/2 and pi
- Parity and the Pythagorean identity for sine and cosine
- Intermediate value theorem, by bisection with a canonical left-half rule: a continuous function on $[a,b]$ takes every value between $f(a)$ and $f(b)$
- Continuous inverse theorem: a continuous injective $f$ on an interval $I$ is a bijection onto the order-convex set $f[I]$, and the inverse $g : f[I] \to I$ is continuous and strictly monotone in the same sense as $f$

43 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
