Answer

There is no angle $\theta$ such that $sin~\theta = 1.003$. Therefore, when we try to calculate $sin^{-1}1.003$ on a calculator, we will get an error message.

Work Step by Step

Let $~~\theta = sin^{-1}1.003$ Then $~~sin~\theta = 1.003$ However, the maximum possible value of the sine function is 1. There is no angle $\theta$ such that $sin~\theta = 1.003$. Therefore, when we try to calculate $sin^{-1}1.003$ on a calculator, we will get an error message.
