  1. Recognize Functions Cancel Out: We are given the expression cos(arccos(1170))\cos(\arccos(\frac{1}{\sqrt{170}})). The arccos\arccos function is the inverse of the cosine function, which means that arccos(cos(x))=x\arccos(\cos(x)) = x for any value of xx within the domain of the cosine function. Therefore, we can simplify the expression by recognizing that the cosine and arccosine functions will cancel each other out.
  2. Use Inverse Function: Since arccos\text{arccos} is the inverse of cos\cos, we have:\newlinecos(arccos(1170))=1170\cos(\text{arccos}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{170}})) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{170}}\newlineThis is because arccos(1170)\text{arccos}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{170}}) will give us an angle whose cosine is 1170\frac{1}{\sqrt{170}}, and taking the cosine of that angle will return us to the original value of 1170\frac{1}{\sqrt{170}}.
  3. Simplify Further: We do not need a calculator to simplify this expression further, as we have already found that the cosine and arccosine functions cancel each other out, leaving us with the original value inside the arccos function.
