Inverse trigonometric functions

An inverse trigonometric function with an “exponent” of “-1”. In

-1
other words, the inverse cosine is denoted as cos x . It is important
-1
here to note that in this case the “-1” is not an exponent and so, cos x
1
 .
cos x
The domain (the possible x-values) of arccos(x) is -1 ≤ x ≤ 1 and
the range (of y-values for the graph) is 0 ≤ arccos(x) ≤ 
