Understanding the Inverse Cosine Function

What is the main issue with finding the inverse of the cosine function over its entire domain?

• It does not have a range.

• It is not a one-to-one function.

• It is not continuous.

• It is not differentiable.

What does the horizontal line test determine about a function?

• If a function is differentiable.

• If a function has an inverse.

• If a function is continuous.

• If a function is periodic.

How is the domain of the cosine function restricted to define its inverse?

• From 0 to 2π

• From -1 to 1

• From -π to π

• From 0 to π

What is the range of the inverse cosine function?
