<div style="color:black;font: 12pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span
style="color: blue;">Can someone please tell me how to plot a
graph of arcsin(x).</span> I can plot arccos(x) and arctan(x)
using the codes below, but all I get is a blank when I try to
plot arcsin. I read somewhere that postscript only recognizes
arctan(x) but I don't know if that is my problem. As you will
see from this code, I am trying to avoid tikz because so much
other code is written without it and putting them together just
confuses the issue.

I tried to investigate, but without any clue as to what packages are
required to permit the use of (e.g.,) \begin {figure}, my
investigation fell over at the first fence :.<br>
