plse explain this and solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its just a formula \[\cos^{-1} (cosx) = x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and also cos cannot exist beyond \[\pi and 5\pi/4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is \[\pi + \pi/4\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its undefined i hope.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\cos \frac{5\pi}{4}=-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\] So now the problem becomes: \[\cos^{-1} (-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And that means: give the angle between 0 and pi whose cosine is - sqrt2/2. That angle is 3pi/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is defined or not
