Since {y = cos^-1(x) is the of the function , the function y = cos^-1(x) and .
But, since is , its must be restricted in order that y = cos^-1(x) is a function.
To get the graph of y = cos^-1x, start with a graph of .

Graphing function :



the of the function to a one-to-one region - typically [, ] is used for cos^ -1x. This leaves the range of the restricted function unchanged as [, ].


Reflect the graph across the line to get the graph of y = cos^-1 x y = arccos x, the black curve at right on the graph above.


Notice that y = cos^-1x has domain [,] and range [, ]. It is strictly decreasing on its entire domain.
