Why, postive root is choosen in expressing inverse sine in terms of natural logarithm

Question: As seen in underlined part of below attached picture:

$±\sqrt{1-z^2}$ is implied by $\sqrt{1-z^2}$ But how? what this means?

Why they considered only positive root?

My attempt: let's try by considering negative root!

Say $e^{iw}=iz-\sqrt{1-z^2}$ then, By taking natural logarithm on both sides we get,

$iw=\ln(iz-\sqrt{1-z^2})$

$w=\frac{1}{i}\ln(iz-\sqrt{1-z^2})$

Hence if we put $z=0$, then we get,

$w=\frac{1}{i}\ln(-1)$

as logarithm function is not defined for negative numbers, hence we see that,$w=\sin^{-1}z$ will not be defined at $z=0$

But we have $sin^{-1}(0)=0$ hence we must consider, positive root!

Is am I correct?

Further, is considering negative root is wrong? What we get by considering negative root?

Please help...
