Cos x vs Cos-1: What's the Difference?

[Acuben]

Just a quick question.
does cos x represent something different from Cos x?
or does it only apply to inverse trig functions such as Cos$$^{-1}$$ x ?

 

[Mark44]

Cos(x) -- with the capital C -- typically represents the restricted-domain cosine function, with the domain being [0, 2pi].
