Composition of $$\cos^{-1}x$$ with $$\cos$$

## Formula

$$\cos^{-1}(\cos x)=x,\quad x\in[0,\pi]$$

## Usage

- Used only when $$x$$ lies within the principal range of $$\cos^{-1}x$$.

Question 1

Let $$f(x)=\sin^{-1}(\sin x)$$ and $$g(x)=\cos^{-1}(\cos x).$$

Find the total number of real solutions of $$f(x)=g(x)$$ in the interval $$[-2\pi,2\pi].$$
