cosecant

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse Cosine

cos-1

Cos-1

arccos

Arccos

The inverse function of cosine.

Basic idea: To find cos-1 (½), we ask "what angle has cosine equal to ½?" The answer is 60°. As a result we say cos-1 (½) = 60°. In radians this is cos-1 (½) = π/3.

More: There are actually many angles that have cosine equal to ½. We are really asking "what is the simplest, most basic angle that has cosine equal to ½?" As before, the answer is 60°. Thus cos-1 (½) = 60° or cos-1 (½) = π/3.

Details: What is cos-1 (–½)? Do we choose 120°, –120°, 240°, or some other angle? The answer is 120°. With inverse cosine, we select the angle on the top half of the unit circle. Thus cos-1 (–½) = 120° or cos-1 (–½) = 2π/3.

In other words, the range of cos-1 is restricted to [0, 180°] or [0, π].

Note: arccos refers to "arc cosine", or the radian measure of the arc on a circle corresponding to a given value of cosine.

Technical note: Since none of the six trig functions sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent are one-to-one, their inverses are not functions. Each trig function can have its domain restricted, however, in order to make its inverse a function. Some mathematicians write these restricted trig functions and their inverses with an initial capital letter (e.g. Cos or Cos-1). However, most mathematicians do not follow this practice. This website does not distinguish between capitalized and uncapitalized trig functions.

Someone answer asap for ! max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a. the median of max’s data is 250 b. more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c. a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d. every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.
