Forward-reverse trigonometric formulae
From Stiki
A "forward-reverse" trigonometric function is a function of the form foo(arcbar(x)) where foo(x) and bar(x) are trigonometric functions (one of sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, cotangent).
arcbar(x) (or equivalently bar-1(x)) is the inverse function of bar(x). So foo(arcbar(x)) is foo of the inverse of bar, hence "forward-reverse".
The tables below list these identities for every combination of trigonometric formulae for both circular and hyperbolic trigonometric functions. Derivations of these formulae are detailed in hidden sections in order to remove clutter, but you can expand these hidden section to read them by clicking on the "show" tags.

The proofs for the hyperbolic trigonometric formulae use the following identities for the hyperbolic trigonometric functions: And for the inverse hyperbolic trigonometric functions:
Together these can be used to derive the forward-reverse hyperbolic trigonometric functions.
