I'm not sure what this question is asking, but see below for some information about cos1(1x)

Explanation:

The domain of cos1(x) is from -1 to 1. Its graph looks like this:
graph{arccos(x) [-2, 2, -0.82, 4.18]}

Therefore, the domain of cos1(1x) will be wherever 11x1.

This is x<1 or x>1

Because 1x essentially takes the function and flips it inside out, putting x= at x=0 and vice versa, we can imagine taking the left side of the function (where x is negative), flipping it around, and stretching it out all the way to negative infinity. We will also do the same thing to the right side.

If that description was confusing, this is what cos1(1x) looks like graphically:

graph{arccos(1/x) [-3.634, 4.366, -3.44, 6.56]}

Hope this helps!
