If you only have a fragment of a sine table:
Whenever the square root of a complex number is used here, we choose the root with the positive real part (or positive imaginary part if the square was negative real).
From the half-angle formula, we get:

Famous quotes containing the words inverse and/or functions:

“Mark the babe
Not long accustomed to this breathing world;
One that hath barely learned to shape a smile,
