Definition df-acos 26371

Description: Define the arccosine function. See also remarks for df-asin 26370. Since we define arccos in terms of arcsin, it shares the same branch points and cuts, namely (-∞, -1) ∪ (1, +∞). (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 31-Mar-2015.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
df-acos	⊢ arccos = (𝑥 ∈ ℂ ↦ ((π / 2) − (arcsin‘𝑥)))
