Question
Evaluate the following:
$\cos^{-1}\Big\{\cos\frac{5\pi}{4}\Big\}$

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
$\cos^{-1}\Big\{\cos\Big(\frac{5\pi}{4}\Big)\Big\}=\cos^{-1}\Big\{\cos\Big(2\pi-\frac{3\pi}{4}\Big)\Big\}$
$=\cos^{-1}\Big\{\cos\Big(\frac{3\pi}{4}\Big)\Big\}$
$=\frac{3\pi}{4}$
