My sincere apologies...I copied the problem down wrong. The right side 
was from one problem, and the left was from the problem below it. 

You all get bonus points!!

for putting in all of the work you did into trying to solve the problem. It's 
nice to know, at least, that it was an unsolvable problem!

Recall... Inverse Trig Functions
If sin β = x, then arcsin =

the 6 inverse trig functions are:
­1 ­1
f(x) = sin x f(x) = cos x
­1 ­1
f(x) = csc x f(x) = sec x
