cosine anyone? if cos(54°) = 0.5878, then arccos(0.15878) =?

If cos 54 deg =0.5878 then cos-1 0.15878 is equal to?

Anyone?

I sure don't understand what you're asking...perhaps someone else will...

Hello, trig!

Did I interpret this correctly?

$\displaystyle \text{If }\,\cos54^o\:=\:0.5878\;\;\text{find }\cos^{^{-1}}(0.15878)$

We have: $\displaystyle \,\cos\theta \,=\,x$ . . . and we must find: $\displaystyle \,\cos^{^{-1}}\left(\frac{x\,+\,1}{10}\right)$

Good luck!
