#x in [ -2, - 1 ]# and # y in [ -pi/2, pi/2 ]#, for this truncated graph.

#g ( x ) = sin^ ( - 1 ) ( 2 x + 3 )#.

This is one-piece inverse with

#g in [ - pi/2, pi/2 ]# of #x = 1/2( sin g - 3 )#.

Correspondingyt, the domain is given by

#x in [ 1/2 ( sin ( - pi/2 ) - 3), 1/2 ( sin ( pi/2 ) - 3 ) = [ - 2, - 1 ]#.

See illustrative graph, within the enclosure

# x = -2, y = pi/2, x = - 1 and y = -pi/2 #o.

graph{(y - arcsin ( 2 x + 3 ))(y^2-(pi/2)^2) = 0[-3 0 -2 2]}

For information, the wholesome graph for

#g = (sin)^( - 1 )( 2x + 3 )#, using the inverse #x = 1/2 sin (( g ) - 3 )#

is shown below.

graph{x-1/2( sin (y) - 3 ) = 0 [-3 0 -10 10]}

Here, g-range is without limit.

I use #(sin )^( - 1 )# for the wholesome inverse. This enables me to
