What is a generic name to cover arccosine, cosine, and sine?
$begingroup$
I am writing a simple application to plot the curves of arccosine, cosine, and sine for learning purposes and would like to know if there is a generic phrase or wording I can use for the name of the application that relates to all three?
I believe that trigonometry is too vague in this context since I'm not covering the entire subject but a subset of the subject.

There are six commonly used trig functions, several more obscure ones, and the various inverse functions. Surely you cannot expect there to be special terms to denote each combination of three of those functions. Use “trigonometry” or list the three functions by name.

The elementary inverse trigonometric functions encompass arcsine, arccosine, and arctangent.

I agree with DavidK. The combination of three functions you list is rather arbitrary, there is no label other than trigonometry that describes them.

Based on the comment thread, it seems that sinusoid is the most precise descriptor for the kinds of graphs that you're looking for.
