Arccosine
Builds on Sine and cosineContinuity of the inverse of a strictly monotone continuous functionpi
Definition
The arccosine is the function such that, for each , is the unique with .
Remarks
The cosine is strictly decreasing and continuous on , with range . So is well defined and continuous.
For all , .
For example, and . Mathlib defines Real.arccos by the identity above.
