Question 871827: Find the exact value of the expression, if it is defined. (If it is not defined, enter NONE.)
cos^-1(cos(-pi/2))
Now, I keep getting 1.570796327 as the answer but it keeps saying it is incorrect. I also tried pi/2 which is the same thing but it also says it is incorrect. Just a little confused.
