Python - math.acos() function

Last Updated : 28 May, 2020
Math module contains 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.
  • x :This parameter is the value to be passed to acos()
Returns:This function returns the arc cosine value of a number.
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 : 1.0197267436954502
Example 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:
Input_Array :  
[-0.8975979  -0.80311391 -0.70862992 -0.61414593 -0.51966194 -0.42517795
