Arccos (inverse cosine, cos⁻¹) returns the angle whose cosine equals the input value. The output is in the range [0°, 180°] or [0, π] radians.

공식

θ = arccos(x) where cos(θ) = x
x
input value (cosine) — must be in range [−1, 1]
θ

자주 묻는 질문

What is the domain and range of arccos?

Domain: [−1, 1]. Range: [0°, 180°] or [0, π] radians.

Why is arccos(1) = 0 and arccos(−1) = 180°?

cos(0°) = 1, so the angle whose cosine is 1 is 0°. Similarly, cos(180°) = −1.

Is arccos the same as 1/cos?

No! arccos is the inverse function (angle from cosine). 1/cos is the reciprocal (secant).
