Which statement is correct about y = cos^–1 x?
1 answer:
Answer:
A) If the domain of y=cos(x) is restricted to [0, π], y=cos^-1(x) is a function.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order for the inverse function to be a function, the original must pass the horizontal line test: a horizontal line must intersect the function in only one place.
As you can see from the attached graph, restricting the cosine function to the domain [0, π] allows it to pass the horizontal line test, so its inverse will be a function.

Restricting the domain to [-π/2, π/2] does not limit cos(x) to something that will pass the horizontal line test.

An irrational number is a number that can't be written as a simple fraction while a rational number is a number that can be written as the ratio of two integers, that is, as a simple fraction. So in this case we have the number 2 which is ration, and we can multiply it by an irrational number such that the product is an irrational number. So any irrational number will meet our requirement because the product of any rational number and an irrational number will lead to an irrational number. For instance:
