Math modulecontains a number of functions which is used for mathematical operations. The
math.acos()function returns the arc cosine value of a number. The value passed in this function should be in between
-1 to 1.
Syntax: math.acos(x) Parameter:This method accepts only single parameters.Returns:This function returns the arc cosine value of a number.
- x :This parameter is the value to be passed to acos()
Below examples illustrate the use of above function:
Example 1: Python3
# Python code to implement
# the acos()function
# importing "math"
# for mathematical operations
import math
a = math.pi / 6
# returning the value of arc cosine of pi / 6
print ("The value of arc cosine of pi / 6 is : ", end ="")
print (math.acos(a))
Output:
The value of arc cosine of pi / 6 is : 1.0197267436954502Example 2: Python3
# Python code implementation of
# the acos() function
import math
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
in_array = np.linspace(-(1 / 3.5 * np.pi), 1 / 3.5 * np.pi, 20)
out_array = []
for i in range(len(in_array)):
out_array.append(math.acos(in_array[i]))
i += 1
print("Input_Array : \n", in_array)
print("\nOutput_Array : \n", out_array)
plt.plot(in_array, out_array, "go-")
plt.title("math.acos()")
plt.xlabel("X")
plt.ylabel("Y")
plt.show()
Output:
