Question
Evaluate the following:
$\cos^{-1}(\cos12)$

Answer

We know that,
$\cos^{-1}\big(\cos\theta\big)=\begin{cases}-\theta,&\text{if }\theta\in[-\pi,0]\\\theta,&\text{if }\theta\in[0,\pi]\\2\pi-\theta,&\text{if }\theta\in[\pi,2\pi]\\-2\pi+\theta,&\text{if }\theta\in[2\pi,3\pi]\end{cases}$
We have
$\cos^{-1}(\cos12)=\cos^{-1}\{\cos(4\pi-12)\}$
$=4\pi-12$
