y = arccos ( x 4 ) [ 0 , π ]
The graph is constrained to look this way.
Inversely,
x = 4 cos y [ - 4 , 4 ] and the waveform, in the y-direction, is
understandable. Yet, the graph is blocked,
and the the y- periodicity becomes incognito.
See graph.
graph{(y-arccos (x/4))=0}
For contrast, see the wholesome inverse graph of x = 4 sin y
that is identical with the piecewise wholesome
y = ( cos ) - 1 ( x 4 ) = k π + ( - 1 ) k arcsin ( x 4 ) ,
k = 0 , ± 1 , ± 2 , ± 3 , ... :
graph{(x-4 cos y)(x-4 +0.001y) (x+4 +0.001y) = 0[ -5 5 -20 20]}
