Steps

Step 1 :The problem is asking for the inverse cosine of the cosine of 6π7. The inverse cosine function, or arccosine, is the function that takes a number in the range of -1 to 1 (the range of the cosine function) and returns the angle in radians whose cosine is that number. The range of the arccosine function is [0,π].

Step 2 :The cosine function is periodic with period 2π, so cos(6π7) is the same as cos(6π72π), cos(6π74π), and so on.

Step 3 :However, since the range of the arccosine function is [0,π], we need to find a value equivalent to 6π7 that falls within this range. We can do this by subtracting multiples of 2π from 6π7 until we get a value within the range of the arccosine function.

Step 4 :The value of 6π7 after subtracting multiples of 2π until it falls within the range [0,π] is approximately 2.69. This is the value that the arccosine function will return when given cos(6π7) as input.

Step 5 :Final Answer: cos1[cos(6π7)]=2.69 (approximately)
