Python – math.acos() function
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:
import math
a = math.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:
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:
