how do i use cos-1

 

\(cos^{-1}\) is the key for the arccos function on the computer.  laugh  !

 

Outside the calculator is     \(cos^{-1}(x)=\frac{1}{cos(x)}\)    laugh  !

Depends on your calculator.

 

cos-1 is for when you dont know what the angle is but you are given the adjacent and hypotenuse values.

For example if the hypotenuse is 10 and the adjacent is 5 you would input.

cos-1(5/10) = 60 degrees
