Given the inverse function


f(x)\text{ = 2arccosx}

A function g is the inverse of f if for y = f(x) , x = g(y)


\begin{gathered} y\text{ = 2arccosx} \\ \arccos x\text{ = }(y)/(2) \\ \arccos a\text{ = b} \\ a=\cos (b) \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} x=\text{ cos(}(y)/(2)) \\ \text{substitute y = x} \\ y=\cos ((x)/(2)) \end{gathered}

Hence the correct answer is Option B
