Arccos sqrt(3)/2

Welcome to arccos sqrt(3)/2, our post aboutthe arccosine of sqrt(3)/2.

For the inverse trigonometric function of cosine sqrt(3)/2 we usually employ the abbreviation arccos and write it as arccos sqrt(3)/2 or arccos(sqrt(3)/2).

If you have been looking for what is arccos sqrt(3)/2, either in degrees or radians, or if you have been wondering about the inverse of cos sqrt(3)/2, then you are right here, too.

In this post you can find the angle arccosine of sqrt(3)/2, along with identities.

Read on to learn all about the arccos of sqrt(3)/2, and note that the term sqrt(3)/2 is approximately 0.866025403 as a decimal number.

Arccos of sqrt(3)/2

If you want to know what is arccos sqrt(3)/2 in terms of trigonometry, check out the explanations in the last paragraph; ahead in this section is the value of arccosine(sqrt(3)/2):

arccos sqrt(3)/2 = pi/6 rad = 30°
arccosine sqrt(3)/2 = pi/6 rad = 30 °
arccosine of sqrt(3)/2 = pi/6 radians = 30 degrees

The arccos of sqrt(3)/2 is pi/6 radians, and the value in degrees is 30°. To change the result from the unit radian to the unit degree multiply the angle by 180° / $\pi$ and obtain 30°.

Our results above contain fractions of pi for the results in radian, and are exact values otherwise. If you compute arccos(sqrt(3)/2), and any other angle, using the calculator below, then the value will be rounded to ten decimal places.

To obtain the angle in degrees insert sqrt(3)/2 as decimal in the field labelled “x”. However, if you want to be given the angle adjacent to sqrt(3)/2 in radians, then you must press the swap units button.

The identities of arccosine sqrt(3)/2 are as follows: arccos(sqrt(3)/2) =

  • $\frac{\pi}{2}$ – arcsin(sqrt(3)/2) ⇔ 90°- arcsin(sqrt(3)/2)
  • ${\pi}$ – arccos(-sqrt(3)/2) ⇔ 180° – arcos(-sqrt(3)/2)
  • arcsec(1/sqrt(3)/2)
  • $arcsin(\sqrt{1-(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^{2}})$
  • $2arctan(\frac{\sqrt{1-(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^{2}}}{1+(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})})$

The infinite series of arccos sqrt(3)/2 is: $\frac{\pi}{2}$ – $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(2n)!}{2^{2n}(n!)^{2}(2n+1)}(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^{2n+1}$.

Next, we discuss the derivative of arccos x for x = sqrt(3)/2. In the following paragraph you can additionally learn what the search calculations form in the sidebar is used for.

Derivative of arccos sqrt(3)/2

The derivative of arccos sqrt(3)/2 is particularly useful to calculate the inverse cosine sqrt(3)/2 as an integral.

The formula for x is (arccos x)’ = – $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}$, x ≠ -1,1, so for x = sqrt(3)/2 the derivative equals -2.

Using the arccos sqrt(3)/2 derivative, we can calculate the angle as a definite integral:

arccos sqrt(3)/2 = $\int_{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}^{1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-z^{2}}}dz$.

The relationship of arccos of sqrt(3)/2 and the trigonometric functions sin, cos and tan is:

  • sin(arccosine(sqrt(3)/2)) =$\sqrt{1-(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^{2}}$
  • cos(arccosine(sqrt(3)/2)) = sqrt(3)/2
  • tan(arccosine(sqrt(3)/2)) = $\frac{\sqrt{1-(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})^{2}}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}$

Note that you can locate many terms including the arccosine(sqrt(3)/2) value using the search form. On mobile devices you can find it by scrolling down. Enter, for instance, arccossqrt(3)/2 angle.

Using the aforementioned form in the same way, you can also look up terms including derivative of inverse cosine sqrt(3)/2, inverse cosine sqrt(3)/2, and derivative of arccos sqrt(3)/2, just to name a few.

In the next part of this article we discuss the trigonometric significance of arccosine sqrt(3)/2, and there we also explain the difference between the inverse and the reciprocal of cos sqrt(3)/2.

What is arccos sqrt(3)/2?

In a triangle which has one angle of 90 degrees, the cosine of the angle α is the ratio of the length of the adjacent side a to the length of the hypotenuse h: cos α = a/h.

In a circle with the radius r, the horizontal axis x, and the vertical axis y, α is the angle formed by the two sides x and r; r moving counterclockwise defines the positive angle.

As follows from the unit-circle definition on our homepage, assumed r = 1, in the intersection of the point (x,y) and the circle, x = cos α = sqrt(3)/2 / r = sqrt(3)/2. The angle whose cosine value equals sqrt(3)/2 is α.

In the interval [0, pi] or [0°, 180°], there is only one α whose arccosine value equals sqrt(3)/2. For that interval we define the function which determines the value of α as

y = arccos(sqrt(3)/2).

From the definition of arccos(sqrt(3)/2) follows that the inverse function y-1 = cos(y) = sqrt(3)/2. Observe that the reciprocal function of cos(y),(cos(y))-1 is 1/cos(y).

Avoid misconceptions and remember (cos(y))-1 = 1/cos(y) ≠ cos-1(y) = arccos(sqrt(3)/2). And make sure to understand that the trigonometric function y=arccos(x) is defined on a restricted domain, where it evaluates to a single value only, called the principal value:

In order to be injective, also known as one-to-one function, y = arccos(x) if and only if cos y = x and 0 ≤ y ≤ pi. The domain of x is −1 ≤ x ≤ 1.
