Value of cos^(−1)(cos(−2π/3)) is −2π/3.

Explanation:

The value of function cos^(−1) x is equal to the value of the angle whose cosine is x.

Assume x=cos (−2π/3).

Finding the value of cos^(−1)(cos(−2π/3)) means finding the value of cos^(−1)x

But if x=cos (−2π/3), obviously cos^(−1)x=(−2π/3)

Hence value of cos^(−1)(cos(−2π/3)) is −2π/3.
